Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CRTC3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CRTC3 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher CRTC3 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CRTC3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where CRTC3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
