Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NOTCH1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NOTCH1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher NOTCH1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NOTCH1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where NOTCH1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
