Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC3A1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC3A1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher SLC3A1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC3A1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
CCRCC and PDAC are the cancer types where SLC3A1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
