Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PARVA mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PARVA data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PARVA mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PARVA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where PARVA mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
