Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NIBAN2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NIBAN2 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher NIBAN2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NIBAN2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, GBM, and PDAC are the cancer types where NIBAN2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
