SummaryTraditional cancer survival analysis tools often restrict their analysis to single genes, thereby limiting their analytical scope. GeneSurv, a novel Web-Based Multi-Gene Cancer Survival Analysis Tool, addresses this limitation by enabling multi-gene analyses that correlates the expression of multiple genes, without restriction on their number, in various combinations, with patient survival outcomes. GeneSurv offers dynamic functionalities and an intuitive interface for flexible and precise adjustments of gene expression thresholds. Among its demonstrated applications, GeneSurv identified a significant association between high expression of CCND1 and CDK4 with poor breast cancer prognosis, and related the combined expression of five genes to patient survival, showcasing its capacity to unravel the complexities of genetic interactions and their impact on patient outcomes. ConclusionAvailable with user-friendly tutorials at https://can-sat.erc.monash.edu/, GeneSurv is an invaluable addition to the existing suite of bioinformatic tools, significantly enhancing the investigation of cancer prognosis.
