Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CKAP5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CKAP5 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher CKAP5 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CKAP5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CKAP5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
