Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BSN mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BSN data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 16 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher BSN mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BSN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC and UCEC are the cancer types where BSN mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
