Disease biomarker identification from gene network modules for metastasized breast cancer

Abstract Advancement in science has tended to improve treatment of fatal diseases such as cancer. A major concern in the area is the spread of cancerous cells, technically refered to as metastasis into other organs beyond the primary organ. Treatment in such a stage of cancer is extremely difficult...
