Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CUL2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CUL2 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CUL2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CUL2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where CUL2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
