Figure 7.14a and b indicate that the average rate (~6) of observing

Mechanisms 4 and 8 is higher than the average rate (~ 2) of observing

Mechanisms 2 and 6. Since on average doxorubicin has beneficial effects

on breast cancer patients (otherwise doxorubicin would not have been

selected as a drug), we can conclude that Mechanisms 4 and 8 are more

beneficial (or less harmful) than Mechanisms 2 and 6 on average when

doxorubicin was given to patients.

Another evidence supporting the hypothesis that Mechanisms 2 and 6

are indeed harmful and Mechanisms 4 and 8 beneficial comes from

analyzing the breast cancer data using PDE as described in Sections 7.3.2

and 7.3.3.

Several conclusions can be drawn from the mechanism table in

Figure 7.12:

Figure 7.12 The RNA level data of Perou et al. [306] were processed using the mecha-

nisms circle (Figure 7.11) to reveal the therapeutic effects of doxorubicin on 20 breast

cancer patients. Green = antiparallel (or likely beneficial); red = parallel (or likely harm-

ful). A randomly selected partial list out of about 5000 genes (or ORFs).
