Dear Niki:
Thank you for your prompt reply. The overall survival is still not significant after selection of over-expressed group although significant poor Disease-specific survival is observed. KM plotter does not calculate Disease-specific survival but shows significant poor overall survival. I would like to hear your comments.
Thank you,
Yufei

Hi Yufei,
Can you please send this email thread to the cBioPortal Google Group? That ensures that you will get a response. But the short answer is that you have to carefully select your “altered group” in the cBioPortal query. Your current query mixes samples with high and with low expression and compares those to samples with intermediated expression…

Dear Sir,
We recently used both cBioPortal and KM plotter to predict the impact of Col6A3 overexpression on the overall survival (OS) of thyroid cancer patients. In cBioPortal, we analyzed all samples (500 samples/499 patients). To our surprise, KM plotter predicted poorer survival (logrank P=0.035), while cBioPortal did not show any significant difference. I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain the discrepancy.
Thank you,
Amal

Hello,
We recently used both KM plotter and cBioPortal to predict Col6A3 overexpression on overall survival (OS) of thyroid cancer patients (TCGA thyroid mRNA-Seq dataset, n=502). To our surprise, KM plotter predicted poorer survival (logrank P=0.035) while cBioPortal predict no difference. I would appreciate very much if you can explain the difference. Please also make comments on the case number: N=7462 (is this total cancer cases or thyroid cancer cases? The total cancer cases is 7489 while thyroid cancer cases is 502)
Kind regards,
Yufei

Hi Dr.Yufei, I think its due to differences in datasets, sample sizes, statistical methods, data preprocessing, and other factors can all influence the outcomes of survival analysis. These variations can affect the significance of associations, the estimation of survival probabilities, and the calculation of p-values. The difference in the OS from Kaplan Meier plotter and cBioportal could be that these two platforms may have different datasets or sources of data, which could lead to variations in the results. Additionally, the algorithms or statistical methods used to calculate p-values might differ between the platforms, resulting in slightly different outcomes. Moreover, differences in sample sizes can also impact the results. With a larger sample size in Kaplan Meier plotter (n=7462), there might be more statistical power to detect significant associations or differences in survival outcomes compared to cBioportal's smaller sample size (n=497). Furthermore, variations in data preprocessing, quality control measures, or even the specific gene or molecular characteristics of the thyroid cancer samples in each database could contribute to the discrepancy. Each platform may have different inclusion criteria, patient demographics, or even time frames for data collection, which can influence the results as well. The reasons I mentioned here can potentially impact the results of overall survival. It's important to consider all these factors when comparing results from different platforms or databases. I hope this helps…

Hi Dr.Yufei,
The dataset/patient cohorts/ cancer types used is different between the two. cBioPortal is a comprehensive platform that has multiple cancer types and data from various cancer studies. On the other hand, KM plotter (Kaplan-Meier plotter) is designed for studying breast cancer. It focuses on analyzing the impact of gene levels on patient survival outcomes in breast cancer. KM plotter integrates gene expression data from thousands of breast cancer patients to generate Kaplan-Meier survival plots and how specific genes may influence overall survival or relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients. The difference in OS outcomes you observed between cBioPortal and KM plotter might be because KM plotter focuses on breast cancer, whereas in cBioPortal the dataset was on Thyroid cancer.Consequently, the dataset/patient cohorts/ cancer types used is different, leading to different survival results. Also, if you change the cancer type in cBioportal itself to BC instead of TC , the overall survival (OS) results will be the same as those in KM plotter. Please see also the following link to find the same results for OS similar to KM plotter for BC and cBioPortal for TC. For example, if you select the TCGA option and write your gene (Col6a3) in the search box, choose the TCGA dataset, and then select Breast Cancer as an example, it will take you to the next page. Click on the "survival" option on that page, and you will have the same results as those from KM plotter & cBioportal for BC. Similarly, if you go back and choose TC, it will show you with the same results for TC as the one from cBioportal.
I hope this answers your question, clarifies the point, and helps make the difference you noticed between the two clear now.

Hi Yufei,
I think it is easier if you send all correspondence to this email thread and keep the Google Group cc’d, that way others can follow along and weigh in.
I think you are referring to your previous question about death events in the TCGA thyroid cancer cohort. Your spreadsheet lists 91 patients for the 2014 Cell paper cohort, but the matching cBioPortal cohort shows 14 events. See the screenshot below.
Please double-check and let us know if you still see discrepancies.
Niki.
I re-checked the OncoPrint of Cell 2014. Now the total death is 14 (not 91 anymore) and in line with other three databases. This is due to computer/system glitch? Anyway, I am happy to see consistent death rate.
