Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, POU2F2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated POU2F2 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher POU2F2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated POU2F2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, HNSC, and GBM are the cancer types where POU2F2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
