Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EIF3K Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EIF3K data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where higher EIF3K Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EIF3K expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BLCA show a favorable association.
ESCA, BLCA, and STAD are the cancer types where EIF3K Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
