This dataset, Carcinoma_p53_df, is a data frame containing data related to the presence of the mutant p53 tumor suppressor gene and its potential role as a prognostic factor in patients with squamous cell carcinoma arising from the oropharynx cavity. The dataset includes unadjusted estimates of log hazard ratios for mutant p53 compared to normal p53 for disease-free and overall survival, along with their associated variances, collected from 6 observational studies. The dataset consists of 6 observations with 5 variables.
