Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ABL1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ABL1 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ABL1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ABL1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ABL1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
