Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CDCA3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CDCA3 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher CDCA3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CDCA3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and GBM are the cancer types where CDCA3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
