Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ERF mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ERF data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher ERF mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ERF expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where ERF mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
