Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MMP16 RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated MMP16 data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher MMP16 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MMP16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM and LGG show a favorable association.
KIRP, UVM, and MESO are the cancer types where MMP16 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.
