PESSA

PESSA (Pathway Enrichment Score-based Survival Analysis) is a large-scale interactive web tool dedicated to pan-cancer survival analysis and visualization by using results from single sample gene set enrichment analysis(ssGSEA). With PESSA, users can quickly explore the impact of target pathway on survival outcomes in different tumors, assisting clinicians and researchers in further investigating the mechanism of tumor development and improving clinical decision-making.

Our lab has a long-standing interest in cancer biomedical research and bioinformatics. We recently developed several other Shiny web tools focusing on solving various scientific questions.

FAQ

1. Why does the gene sets I type in return no results?

The gene sets we provided here mostly come from MSigDB(HGNC-approved) Hallmark gene sets, Canonical pathways and Gene Ontology gene sets. The whole list of gene sets we provided can be found here.

2. What are the full forms of the survival outcomes provided?

Altogether, there are 13 different survival outcomes available. Their abbreviations and corresponding full forms are shown below.

BCR: Biochemical Recurrence Free Survival

CSS: Cancer Specific Survival

DFI: Disease Free Interval

DFS: Disease Free Survival

DMFS: Distant Metastasis Free Survival

DRFS: Distant Relapse Free Survival

DSS: Disease Specific Survival

FFS: Failure Free Survival

MFS: Metastasis Free Survival

OS: Overall Survival

PFI: Progression Free Interval

PFS: Progression Free Survival

RFS: Recurrence Free Survival

3. Why is there no median survival line shown in the K-M plot I have made?

Because of the specific cutoff point you chose, the median survival has not yet been reached, and more than half of the patients are still alive.
