Xie's original data

This dataset compiles prostate cancer data from the datasets GSE46602, GSE70768, and GSE71016, and uses principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimension of the datasets to eliminate any batch processing effects. The datasets included in this study were 197 prostate adenocarcinoma samples and 134 adjacent normal prostate tissues. All cancer samples were treatment-naïve, localized PCa cases (no metastatic or CRPC samples were included). Normal samples were derived from histologically confirmed non-cancerous regions of prostates from age-matched donors (median age: 62 years). Gleason scores for cancer samples were distributed as follows: Gleason=4-6 (n=47), Gleason=7 (n=132), Gleason=8–10 (n=18).
