Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CPVL mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CPVL data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher CPVL mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CPVL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
COAD, UCEC, and PDAC are the cancer types where CPVL mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
