Abstract

It is well known that cancer cells are diverse and heterogeneous among patients, and that this heterogeneity makes cancer diagnosis and cure difficult. Intra-tumoral heterogeneity has very recently become important because a small proportion of drug-resistant or tumor-initiating cells can ultimately determine a patient's outcome. In this study, we propose new approaches to use variance tests, including the Lepage test, to identify inter-patient cancer heterogeneity, as well as multinomial logistic regression to identify intra-patient cancer heterogeneity, i.e., different epiallele composition. We conduct experiments to show the performance of the proposed approaches.
