MMD: development, validation, and potential applications in oncology. Microarray-based datasets containing raw transcriptome profiles of patient-derived tumor tissues (TT) and non-tumor (NT) tissues were processed, merged, and batch-effect corrected using an integrated R pipeline. Validation of each cancer type-specific MMD was performed using PCA and RRHO algorithms. Clinical models trained using MMD can be applied to TCGA, facilitating the discovery of new biomarkers, development of prognostic models, and parallel cross-platform analyses with TCGA.
