Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PIK3C2B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PIK3C2B data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher PIK3C2B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PIK3C2B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where PIK3C2B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
