Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EXOSC2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EXOSC2 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher EXOSC2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EXOSC2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, COAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where EXOSC2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
