Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC35A5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC35A5 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher SLC35A5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC35A5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where SLC35A5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
