Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ESCO1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ESCO1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher ESCO1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ESCO1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and UCEC show a favorable association.
LSCC, UCEC, and PDAC are the cancer types where ESCO1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
