Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCL13 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CCL13 data layer compared with 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher CCL13 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCL13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM and UCEC show a favorable association.
SKCM, KIRC, and KIRP are the cancer types where CCL13 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.
