Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CMTM6 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CMTM6 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CMTM6 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CMTM6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where CMTM6 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
