EPCAM

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EPCAM Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EPCAM data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher EPCAM Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EPCAM expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

HNSC are the cancer types where EPCAM Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation 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.
