Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DHRS2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DHRS2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher DHRS2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DHRS2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where DHRS2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
