Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AOC3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AOC3 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher AOC3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AOC3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, HNSC, and GBM are the cancer types where AOC3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
