What are the Benefits of Using Community Detection in Cancer Research?
1. Identification of Biomarkers: Community detection can help identify groups of biomarkers that are indicative of specific cancer types or stages. 2. Drug Target Discovery: By revealing essential communities within protein interaction networks, new drug targets can be identified. 3. Personalized Medicine: Understanding the unique community structure of a patient's cancer can lead to more personalized and effective treatment plans. 4. Understanding Cancer Evolution: Community detection can help trace the evolutionary pathways of cancer, offering insights into how cancer develops resistance to treatments.
