Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRT7 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KRT7 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher KRT7 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KRT7 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where KRT7 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
