Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ECPAS RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ECPAS data layer compared with 12 for mutation status and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher ECPAS RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ECPAS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and READ show a favorable association.
ACC, KIRC, and KIRP are the cancer types where ECPAS 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.
