Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SPDYE8 RNA is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SPDYE8 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher SPDYE8 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SPDYE8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
LUSC, SARC, and STAD are the cancer types where SPDYE8 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
