Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ODF2L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ODF2L data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ODF2L mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ODF2L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, UCEC, and LSCC are the cancer types where ODF2L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
