Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CLTA mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CLTA data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher CLTA mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CLTA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and PDAC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where CLTA mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
