Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IPMK mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IPMK data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher IPMK mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IPMK expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where IPMK mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
