Machine learning analysis of breast cancer metastasis predictors
Scientific Questions Being Studied
We are interested in developing machine learning models to identify the predictors of breast cancer metastasis, and to make quantitative predictions
Project Purpose(s)
- Disease Focused Research (breast cancer)
Scientific Approaches
We will analyze data on breast cancer metastasis using machine learning tools such as random forests, xgboost and causal forests.
Anticipated Findings
We anticipate to develop predictive models of breast cancer metastasis and identify patient sub-populations who are most at risk of developing metastases. Such knowledge can advance clinical practice.
Demographic Categories of Interest
This study will not center on underrepresented populations.
Data Set Used
Registered Tier
ML study of cancer outcomes
Scientific Questions Being Studied
We are interested in using state of the art ML techniques to predict cancer outcomes, assess heterogeneity of these outcomes between patients, and look for potential drivers of such heterogeneity. This research is important because it can help to identify those patient sub-populations for which particular cancer treatments are most effective.
Project Purpose(s)
- Disease Focused Research (Cancer)
- Other Purpose (Develop ML-based approaches to predict cancer outcomes and assess their heterogeneity between patients)
Scientific Approaches
We plan to explore cancer-related data sets within the All of Us database and implement state of the art ML techniques (e.g. random forests, gradient boosting).
Anticipated Findings
We plan to develop predictive models of cancer outcomes and to identify the most important predictors. This can improve clinical practice and enhance scientific knowledge by identifying which treatment approaches may be best suited for particular patient sub-populations.
Demographic Categories of Interest
This study will not center on underrepresented populations.
