Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TSKS RNA is linked to patient survival in 18 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TSKS data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher TSKS RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TSKS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC and HNSC show a favorable association.
KIRC, COAD, and CESC are the cancer types where TSKS 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.
