Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACSL1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACSL1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher ACSL1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACSL1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
GBM, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where ACSL1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
