Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EIF1AD mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EIF1AD data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher EIF1AD mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EIF1AD expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, COAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where EIF1AD mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
