Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PCNT mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PCNT data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher PCNT mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PCNT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where PCNT mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
