Correlation and Validation of Gene Expression Classifiers in Prostate Cancer: A Large-Scale Study - Daniel Spratt

Details
Aditya Bagrodia hosts Daniel Spratt to discuss the complexities of gene expression classifiers in prostate cancer. Dr. Spratt's team conducted a study involving over 50,000 patients to evaluate the interchangeability of three major gene classifiers: Decipher, Oncotype, and Polaris. Contrary to common belief, the study reveals that these tests are not functionally interchangeable, showing only mode...
