Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EXOSC4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EXOSC4 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher EXOSC4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EXOSC4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where EXOSC4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
