Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCL17 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CCL17 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher CCL17 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCL17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC and BLCA show a favorable association.
CESC, BLCA, and HNSC are the cancer types where CCL17 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.
