Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PCGF2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PCGF2 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PCGF2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PCGF2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where PCGF2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
