Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OVAAL RNA is linked to patient survival in 19 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated OVAAL data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher OVAAL RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated OVAAL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC and UCS show a favorable association.
STAD, UVM, and MESO are the cancer types where OVAAL 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.
