Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NDUFB8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NDUFB8 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher NDUFB8 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NDUFB8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and COAD are the cancer types where NDUFB8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
