Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CMTM1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CMTM1 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CMTM1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CMTM1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC and HNSC are the cancer types where CMTM1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
