🧬 RNA-seq Gene Expression Data for Predicting Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response

Overview

The Breast Cancer Gene Expression Dataset contains RNA-seq gene expression profiles from 58 breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The dataset is processed and cleaned from the publicly available NCBI GEO dataset GSE280902 and is designed for machine learning, bioinformatics, and translational cancer research.

The primary goal of this dataset is to support prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) to NAC using gene expression data.
