Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EXT1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated EXT1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher EXT1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated EXT1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and GBM are the cancer types where EXT1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
