Colon Cancer Genetic Markers Prediction Systems
Project Overview
Colorectal cancer, consistently the third deadliest in Taiwan, demands early detection for a 90% five-year survival rate. Yet, only 39% are caught early. Its rising incidence across age groups, influenced by diet, gender, and genetics, necessitates further research.
This Industry Cooperation project tackles this by building a standalone colorectal cancer patient database with a bioinformatics analysis system. Mining target gene data through clustering and decision trees, it digs deeper into the impact factors, focusing on tumors, conditions, location, and stage to enable fast, safe testing. By uncovering hidden correlations, it empowers medical professionals to improve treatment quality, ultimately advancing both colorectal cancer treatment and research.
