Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CLEC14A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CLEC14A data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CLEC14A mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CLEC14A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and UCEC are the cancer types where CLEC14A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
