In this work, we introduce a new mathematical framework based on network curvature to extract significant cancer subtypes from multi-omics data. This extends our previous work that was based on analyzing a fixed single-omics data class (e,g, CNA, gene expression, etc.). Notably, we are able to show that this new methodology provided us with significant survival differences on Kaplan-Meier curves across almost every cancer that we considered. Moreover, the variances in Ollivier-Ricci curvature was explored to investigate its usefulness in network topology analysis as this curvature may be capturing subtle functional changes between various cancer subtypes. |
