Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC9A8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC9A8 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher SLC9A8 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC9A8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and UCEC show a favorable association.
LUAD, UCEC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where SLC9A8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
