Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CEP135 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CEP135 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher CEP135 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CEP135 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where CEP135 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
