Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NOS1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NOS1 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher NOS1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NOS1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where NOS1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
