Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MED31 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MED31 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher MED31 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MED31 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where MED31 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
