Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ENG RNA is linked to patient survival in 29 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ENG data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher ENG RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ENG expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and LIHC show a favorable association.
KIRC, LIHC, and HNSC are the cancer types where ENG 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.
