Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CNST mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CNST data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CNST mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CNST expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and GBM show a favorable association.
LUAD, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CNST mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
