Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, POTEI mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated POTEI data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher POTEI mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated POTEI expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
LSCC, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where POTEI mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
