Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OVCA2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated OVCA2 data layer compared with 1 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher OVCA2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated OVCA2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where OVCA2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
