Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FEM1B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FEM1B data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher FEM1B mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FEM1B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and UCEC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where FEM1B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
