Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC22A18AS RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SLC22A18AS data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher SLC22A18AS RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC22A18AS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRP and MESO show a favorable association.
KIRP, LAML, and ACC are the cancer types where SLC22A18AS 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.
