Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF22 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF22 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher KIF22 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF22 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where KIF22 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
