Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSD17B14 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSD17B14 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher HSD17B14 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSD17B14 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC and LSCC are the cancer types where HSD17B14 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
