Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FBXW5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FBXW5 data layer compared with 30 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher FBXW5 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FBXW5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where FBXW5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
