AbstractAuthor Summary Cancer is a complex disease with many subtypes that differ substantially with respect to their onset, progression, and response to treatment. Better understanding of the etiology and mechanism of cancer should help improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer that will kill more than half a million Americans this year alone. Our study illustrates how integration of data over multiple stages and modeling tumorigenesis at the level of regulatory pathways or sets of genes provide robust and interpretable novel hypotheses concerning root genetic causes responsible for cancer initiation, progression, and invasion. Our modeling approach is one of the first approaches that combines multiple microarray datasets in a truly integrative framework that promotes the interpretability of important factors or pathways in one or more datasets. We apply this analysis of tumor progression to both prostate cancer and melanoma to provide information that can lead to the identification of novel biomarkers and give a basis for how genetic disruptions serve to alter actions in specific cell types.
