Cancer Dataset

The data set contains part of the data for a study of oral condition of cancer patients conducted at the Mid-Michigan Medical Center in 1999.

The oral conditions of the patients were measured and recorded at the initial stage, at the end of the second week, at the end of the fourth week, and at the end of the sixth week. Patients were divided into two groups at random: One group received a placebo and the other group received aloe juice treatment.

The dataset is small with 25 rows and 9 features.

Dataset Variables:

• ID: patient identification number
• TRT: treatment group (0 = placebo; 1 = aloe juice)
• AGE: patient's age in years
• WEIGHTIN: patient's weight at initial stage
• STAGE- initial cancer stage, coded 1 through 4
• TOTALCIN: oral condition at the initial stage
• TOTALCW2: oral condition at the end of week 2
• TOTALCW4: oral condition at the end of week 4
• TOTALCW6: oral condition at the end of week 6
