Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NF2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NF2 data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher NF2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NF2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and UCEC are the cancer types where NF2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
