Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CALY RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CALY data layer compared with 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher CALY RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CALY expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BRCA and PAAD show a favorable association.
KIRC, UVM, and BRCA are the cancer types where CALY 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.
