Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF23 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF23 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher KIF23 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF23 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where KIF23 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
