Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CDC23 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CDC23 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CDC23 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CDC23 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where CDC23 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
