The advent of modern technology has led to a surge of highdimensional data in biology and health sciences such as genomics, epigenomics and medicine. The high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGS-OvCa) data reported by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network is one example. The TCGA and other research groups have analyzed several aspects of these data. Here we study the relationship between Disease Free Time (DFT) after surgery among ovarian cancer patients and their DNA methylation profiles of genomic features. Such studies pose additional challenges beyond the typical big data problem due to population substructure and censoring. Despite the availability of several methods for analyzing time-to-event data with a large number of covariates but a small sample size, there is no method available to date that accommodates the additional feature of heterogeneity. To this end, we propose a regularized framework based on the finite mixture of accelerated failure time model to capture intangible heterogeneity due to population substructure and to account for censoring simultaneously. We study the properties of the proposed framework both theoretically and numerically. Our data analysis indicates the existence of heterogeneity in the HGS-OvCa data, with one component
