Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIS18A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MIS18A data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher MIS18A mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MIS18A 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 MIS18A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
