Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BSG mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BSG data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher BSG mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BSG expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and COAD are the cancer types where BSG mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
