Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AMACR mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AMACR data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher AMACR mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AMACR expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and UCEC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and UCEC are the cancer types where AMACR mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
