Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCDC8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CCDC8 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CCDC8 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCDC8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and GBM are the cancer types where CCDC8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
