Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DPP9 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DPP9 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 12 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher DPP9 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DPP9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and UCEC are the cancer types where DPP9 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
