Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ALDOA mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ALDOA data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher ALDOA mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ALDOA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, GBM, and HNSC are the cancer types where ALDOA mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
