Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DMBT1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DMBT1 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher DMBT1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DMBT1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where DMBT1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
