Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAM15 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ADAM15 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ADAM15 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADAM15 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where ADAM15 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
