Accurate prediction of breast cancer survival through coherent voting networks with gene expression profiling

Abstract For a patient affected by breast cancer, after tumor removal, it is necessary to decide which adjuvant therapy is able to prevent tumor relapse and formation of metastases. A prediction of the outcome of adjuvant therapy tailored for the patient is hard, due to the heterogeneous nature of t...
