Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, COASY mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated COASY data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher COASY mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated COASY expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD and CCRCC show a favorable association.
COAD, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where COASY mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
