Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SEMA3C mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SEMA3C data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher SEMA3C mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SEMA3C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where SEMA3C mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
