Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CAPN8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CAPN8 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CAPN8 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CAPN8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC and LUAD are the cancer types where CAPN8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
