Exploring TCGA Breast Cancer Clinical Data
In this activity, we will explore real clinical data from breast cancer patients in **The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)**.
The goal is not only to learn R. The goal is to use R to ask scientific questions:
- What information is collected from cancer patients?
- How do we summarize a large clinical dataset?
- What kinds of missing or uncertain values appear in real biomedical data?
- How can clinical features help us understand breast cancer subtypes?
Later in DREAM-High, we will connect this type of clinical information to **gene expression data**. That is where computational biology becomes especially powerful: we can ask how molecular patterns relate to patient and tumor characteristics.
