Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM98B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM98B data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher FAM98B mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM98B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, LSCC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where FAM98B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
