Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NCAM2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NCAM2 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher NCAM2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NCAM2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where NCAM2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
