CancerPrognosis Get Gene Expression

Fetch gene expression values (RNA-seq) for a specific gene across cancer samples in a TCGA or cBioPortal study. Returns per-sample expression values with summary statistics (mean, median, min, max). Output can be combined with survival data for expression-based prognostic analysis. Supports 33 TCGA cancer types and any cBioPortal study with mRNA expression data.
