Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PRRX2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PRRX2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PRRX2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PRRX2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
HNSC are the cancer types where PRRX2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
