Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, INTS6L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated INTS6L data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher INTS6L mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated INTS6L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where INTS6L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
