breast: Lymph-node-negative primary breast tumors

Description Usage Format Details Source Examples

Description

Tumor molecular measurements and outcome from breast cancer patients.

Usage

1

Format

A data frame with 286 observations on the following 5 variables.

ER

Estrogen receptor status (factor with levels neg, pos)

ESR1

Expression of the ESR1 gene (numeric)

ERBB2

Expression of the ERBB2 gene (numeric)

time_survival

Time in months (numeric)

event_survival

Coded event: 0 = censored, 1 = metastasis (numeric)

Details

ER, ESR1, and ERBB2 were measured on a tumor specimen taken at surgery (time = 0).

ESR1 and ERBB2 expression values were determined by microarray probe sets 205225_at and 216836_s_at using RMA-normalized data.
