Summary of non-omics data that appear in the reviewed papers. Methods used to obtain them and the variables containing the pertinent information to build the models are listed along with the bibliographical reference.
Type of Molecular Data | Methods | Variables | Used by |
---|---|---|---|
IHC data | Immuno- histochemical staining |
Presence/absence of proteins in tumour tissue (e.g., ER, PR, Ki-67) | [72,74,75,81,84,89,98,100] |
Percentage of protein expression in tumour tissue (e.g., ER, Ki-67, etc.) | [86] | ||
Over-expression of proteins in tumour tissue (e.g., HER-2) | [79] | ||
Genetic data | PCR-based methods |
The molecular subtype of cancer (luminal A, luminal B, HER-2 positive luminal B, non-luminal HER-2 positive, triple-negative) | [74] |
Somatic point mutations (e.g., IDH R132H mutation) | [87] | ||
Mutational status of genes | [71,99] |
