Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HEXIM2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 29 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated HEXIM2 data layer compared with 2 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher HEXIM2 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HEXIM2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and MESO show a favorable association.
HNSC, MESO, and UVM are the cancer types where HEXIM2 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.
