Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CA9 RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CA9 data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher CA9 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CA9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UVM and KIRC show a favorable association.
LIHC, BRCA, and UVM are the cancer types where CA9 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
