Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BPGM mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BPGM data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher BPGM mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BPGM expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where BPGM mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
