Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CDCA8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CDCA8 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher CDCA8 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CDCA8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CDCA8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
