Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIPEP mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MIPEP data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher MIPEP mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MIPEP expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where MIPEP mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
