Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DCP1A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DCP1A data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher DCP1A mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DCP1A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and CCRCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where DCP1A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
