Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AFAP1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AFAP1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher AFAP1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AFAP1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where AFAP1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
