Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TANK-AS1 RNA is linked to patient survival in 15 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TANK-AS1 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in thymoma (THYM), where higher TANK-AS1 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TANK-AS1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BLCA and HNSC show a favorable association.
THYM, KIRC, and READ are the cancer types where TANK-AS1 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
