Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DXO mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DXO data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher DXO mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DXO expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LUAD and LSCC are the cancer types where DXO mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
