Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCDC68 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CCDC68 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher CCDC68 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCDC68 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where CCDC68 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
