Prediction and Analysis of Skin Cancer Progression using Genomics Profiles of Patients.

ABSTRACT: The metastatic Skin Cutaneous Melanoma (SKCM) has been associated with diminished survival rates and high mortality rates worldwide. Thus, segregating metastatic melanoma from the primary tumors is crucial to employ an optimal therapeutic strategy for the prolonged survival of patients. The SKCM mRNA, miRNA and methylation data of TCGA is comprehensively analysed to recognize key genomic features that can segregate metastatic and primary tumors. Further, machine learning models have been developed using selected features to distinguish the same. The Support Vector Classification with Weight (SVC-W) model developed using the expression of 17 mRNAs achieved Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) curve of 0.95 and an accuracy of 89.47% on an independent validation dataset. This study reveals the genes C7, MMP3, KRT14, LOC642587, CASP7, S100A7 and miRNAs hsa-mir-205 and hsa-mir-203b as the key genomic features that may substantially contribute to the oncogenesis of melanoma. Our study also proposes genes ESM1, NFATC3, C7orf4, CDK14, ZNF827, and ZSWIM7 as novel putative markers for cutaneous melanoma metastasis. The major prediction models and analysis modules to predict metastatic and primary tumor samples of SKCM are available from a webserver, CancerSPP ( http://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/cancerspp/ ).

Project description:To identify and evaluate the prognostic ability of progression-free survival-related profile for advanced-stage ovarian cancer, advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer tissues from 110 patients who received primary surgery and a platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy were profiled using oligonucleotide microarrays of more than 40,000 transcripts. We first selected 88 genes by a univariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (p<0.01) and next optimized regression coefficients by ridge regression model using 10-fold cross-validation. The prognostic index was independently associated with PFS time compared to other clinical factors in multivariate analysis [hazard ratio (HR), 3.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.66–5.43; p,0.0001]. In an external dataset, multivariate analysis revealed that this prognostic index was significantly correlated with PFS time (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.20–1.98; p = 0.0008). Furthermore, the correlation between the prognostic index and overall survival time was confirmed in the two independent external datasets (log rank test, p = 0.0010 and 0.0008). In multivariable analysis, our prognostic index was independently associated with progression-free survival times compared to other clinical factors (p<0.001). Furthermore, the prognostic ability of our prognostic index was validated in external, publicly available dataset (n = 87), and was proved in multivariate analysis (p = 0.0032). These results suggest that disease progression or recurrence of advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer can be predicted by gene expression profile. The prognostic ability of our index based on the 88-gene expression profile in ridge regression Cox hazard model was shown to be independent of other clinical factors in predicting cancer prognosis across two distinct datasets. Further study will be necessary to improve predictive accuracy of the prognostic index toward clinical application for evaluation of the risk of recurrence in patients with advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer.

Project description:IntroductionMany research studies have well investigated Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection and progression. However, the continuous-time survival prediction of AD is not yet fully explored to support medical practitioners with predictive analytics. In this study, we develop a survival analysis approach to examine interactions between patients' inherent temporal and medical patterns and predict the probability of the AD next stage progression during a time period. The likelihood of reaching the following AD stage is unique to a patient, helping the medical practitioner analyze the patient's condition and provide personalized treatment recommendations ahead of time.MethodologiesWe simulate the disease progression based on patient profiles using non-linear survival methods-non-linear Cox proportional hazard model (Cox-PH) and neural multi-task logistic regression (N-MTLR). In addition, we evaluate the concordance index (C-index) and Integrated Brier Score (IBS) to describe the evolution to the next stage of AD. For personalized forecasting of disease, we also developed deep neural network models using the dataset provided by the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center with their multiple-visit details between 2005 and 2017.ResultsThe experiment results show that our N-MTLR based survival models outperform the CoxPH models, the best of which gives Concordance-Index of 0.79 and IBS of 0.09. We obtained 50 critical features out of 92 by applying recursive feature elimination and random forest techniques on the clinical data; the top ones include normal cognition and behavior, criteria for dementia, community affairs, etc. Our study demonstrates that selecting critical features can improve the effectiveness of probabilities at each time interval.ConclusionsThe proposed deep learning-based survival method and model can be used by medical practitioners to predict the patients' AD shift efficiently and recommend personalized treatment to mitigate or postpone the effects of AD. More generally, our proposed survival analysis approach for predicting disease stage shift can be used for other progressive diseases such as cancer, Huntington's disease, and scleroderma, just to mention a few, using the corresponding clinical data.
