Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHKB mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHKB data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher CHKB mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHKB expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
COAD, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where CHKB mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
