Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EIF3J mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EIF3J data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher EIF3J mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EIF3J expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where EIF3J mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
