Abstract
As cancer has drawn much of the attention worldwide these days, development of effective drugs using microarray data analytical results has become a popular method to search for drug targets. In order to determine common cancer-related genes for prostate adenocarcinomas, kidney carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian adenocarcinomas, pancreatic adenocarcinomas and lung carcinomas, microarray datasets were analyzed via GeneSpring Version 6.1 based on their gene expressions. After having obtained 240 common cancer-related genes among six cancer types, a further analysis on the relationship of gene and biological pathway would be performed. MAPK signaling pathway and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction have been found to have most genes involved in terms of the biological signaling process.
