Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PCDH8 RNA is linked to patient survival in 28 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated PCDH8 data layer compared with 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher PCDH8 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PCDH8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCS and UVM show a favorable association.
UCEC, UCS, and BLCA are the cancer types where PCDH8 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.
