Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GSDMD mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GSDMD data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher GSDMD mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GSDMD expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where GSDMD mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
