Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VEGFC Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VEGFC data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher VEGFC Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VEGFC expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
SKCM, LIHC, and UCEC are the cancer types where VEGFC Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
