Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ELAVL1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ELAVL1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ELAVL1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ELAVL1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and COAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and COAD are the cancer types where ELAVL1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
