Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NCAPH mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NCAPH data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher NCAPH mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NCAPH expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where NCAPH mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
