Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CSTF2T mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CSTF2T data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher CSTF2T mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CSTF2T expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where CSTF2T mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
