Suggested Use Cases
- Metastasis prediction — binary classification using
Metastatic_Label
- Survival analysis — using
Survival_Probability_12mo/24mo/60mo and Time_To_Metastasis_Months
- Treatment response modeling — using
Treatment_Response and Treatment_Response_Trajectory
- Site-specific metastasis risk — using bone/liver/lung/brain likelihood scores
- Biomarker research — exploring ctDNA, CA 15-3, and CTC as early metastasis signals
- Multi-modal fusion — combining imaging, genomics, and clinical features
Quick Start
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("oncology_metastatic_breast_cancer_50k-1.csv")
print(df.shape)
print(df["Metastatic_Label"].value_counts())
print(df.isnull().sum().sort_values(ascending=False).head(10))
Notes
- All patient IDs are anonymized (format:
PT######).
- Binary flags are encoded as
0.0 / 1.0 floats; convert with .astype(int) after handling nulls.
- The
Metastasis_Site column is NaN for the vast majority of records (non-metastatic patients) — treat as a conditional field, not a missing-data problem.
- Survival probability columns are model-estimated values, not observed outcomes.
