Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FASTKD5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FASTKD5 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher FASTKD5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FASTKD5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where FASTKD5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
