Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACAD8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACAD8 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ACAD8 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACAD8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and COAD are the cancer types where ACAD8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
