Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FUCA1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 7 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FUCA1 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher FUCA1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FUCA1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and PDAC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where FUCA1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein 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.
