Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCDC97 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CCDC97 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CCDC97 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCDC97 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where CCDC97 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
