Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CSTF1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CSTF1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CSTF1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CSTF1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and GBM are the cancer types where CSTF1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
