Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EXOC4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 7 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EXOC4 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher EXOC4 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EXOC4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where EXOC4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
