Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PPID mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PPID data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher PPID mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PPID expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where PPID mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
