Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC38A7 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC38A7 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher SLC38A7 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC38A7 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC are the cancer types where SLC38A7 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
