Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ALKBH4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ALKBH4 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher ALKBH4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ALKBH4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where ALKBH4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
