Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MED29 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MED29 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher MED29 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MED29 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where MED29 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
