Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C1D mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C1D data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher C1D mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C1D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
LSCC, COAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where C1D mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
