Using microarrays to study the microenvironment in tumor biology: the crucial role of statistics Baker SG; Kramer BSSemin Cancer Biol 2008[Oct]; 18 (5): 305-10Microarrays represent a potentially powerful tool for better understanding the role of the microenvironment on tumor biology. To make the best use of microarray data and avoid incorrect or unsubstantiated conclusions, care must be taken in the statistical analysis. To illustrate the statistical issues involved we discuss three microarray studies related to the microenvironment and tumor biology involving: (i) prostatic stroma cells in cancer and non-cancer tissues; (ii) breast stroma and epithelial cells in breast cancer patients and non-cancer patients; and (iii) serum associated with wound response and stroma in cancer patients. Using these examples we critically discuss three types of analyses: differential gene expression, cluster analysis, and class prediction. We also discuss design issues.|*Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis[MESH]|Breast Neoplasms/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Breast/metabolism[MESH]|Cluster Analysis[MESH]|Epithelial Cells/metabolism[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gene Expression[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neoplasms/*genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Prostate/metabolism[MESH]|Prostatic Neoplasms/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Stromal Cells/metabolism[MESH] |
