Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NACA3P mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NACA3P data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher NACA3P mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NACA3P expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
LSCC and HNSC are the cancer types where NACA3P mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
