Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AVIL mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AVIL data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher AVIL mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AVIL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and GBM are the cancer types where AVIL mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
