Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MED22 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MED22 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher MED22 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MED22 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where MED22 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
