Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IFT20 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IFT20 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IFT20 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IFT20 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LSCC, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where IFT20 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
