Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CXorf56 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CXorf56 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher CXorf56 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CXorf56 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where CXorf56 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
