The prognostic landscape of genes and infiltrating immune cells across human cancers

TL;DR: A pan-cancer resource and meta-analysis of expression signatures from ∼18,000 human tumors with overall survival outcomes across 39 malignancies is presented and it is found that expression of favorably prognostic genes, including KLRB1 (encoding CD161), largely reflect tumor-associated leukocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-Cell Mass Cytometry of Differential Immune and Drug Responses Across a Human Hematopoietic Continuum

TL;DR: Single-cell “mass cytometry” analyses provide system-wide views of immune signaling in healthy human hematopoiesis, against which drug action and disease can be compared for mechanistic studies and pharmacologic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracting a cellular hierarchy from high-dimensional cytometry data with SPADE

TL;DR: This work presents a versatile computational approach, spanning-tree progression analysis of density-normalized events (SPADE), which facilitates the analysis of cellular heterogeneity, the identification of cell types and comparison of functional markers in response to perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Screening and Adjuvant Therapy on Mortality From Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Seven statistical models showed that both screening mammography and treatment have helped reduce the rate of death from breast cancer in the United States.
