We present a new method to analyze cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP) samples. Our method achieves good results with classification accuracy (88% leave-one-out cross validation for primary tumors from 56 categories, 78% for CUP samples), and can also be used to study CUP samples on a gene-by-gene basis. It is not tied to any a priori defined gene set as many previous methods, and is adaptable to emerging new information.
我们提出了一种新的方法来分析原发灶不明的癌症(CUP)样本。我们的方法在分类准确性方面取得了很好的结果(56 个分类的原发肿瘤的留一交叉验证准确率为 88%,CUP 样本的准确率为 78%),也可以用于逐个基因研究 CUP 样本。与许多先前的方法不同,它不受任何先验定义的基因集的限制,并且能够适应新出现的信息。
