Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAMTS8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ADAMTS8 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher ADAMTS8 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADAMTS8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, UCEC, and PDAC are the cancer types where ADAMTS8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
