A univariate Cox model fits one gene at a time against survival and its z-score ranks genes by prognostic strength; the Breslow approximation is how the fit handles patients whose events fall on the same day.
Proportional hazards models relate the time before an event to covariates, with each covariate's effect multiplying the hazard (Wikipedia). Fitting one gene at a time across twenty thousand genes gives a marginal prognostic score per gene, a common feature-selection step that must be done inside the training fold; tied event times are handled by the Breslow or Efron approximations to the partial likelihood. The model assumes hazards stay proportional over time, which many cancer covariates violate.
