Hi there,


I am really getting desperate so my apologies if my question is not good.

 

I am doing a SAS project and I need a dataset of breast cancer patients and/or survivors that mostly has quality of life features and some demographic and some high level medical features.
The features that I am looking for are things like age, place of living (urban/rural), number of dependents, marital status, employment status, first diagnosis or recurrence, metastatic or not, treatments (mastectomy, chemo, radiation, hormone therapy,…), If they are experiencing financial hardship, levels of daily activities, If they are seeing a mental health professional, if they have paid caregiver or unpaid caregiver, and so on. As I said questions that can distinguish people based on social factors and quality of life.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a dataset with at least 200 subjects with such features? All the breast cancer datasets that I have found are mainly medical.

 

Thanks,

Because so many in academia need data for school, I keep an eye out for open sources. Below are sources (alphabetized) that my predecessor Jennifer Scott pulled together and I add to occasionally.

 

Kind regards and good luck,

Koen

Yeah, you're not likely to find this dataset anywhere publicly that I can think of....try Kaggle at your best bet but this type of information is hard to come by except in private research labs that you likely do not have access to.

This is great. Even if I cannot find the specific dataset that I want in there it's still an awesome find. Thanks for sharing.
