Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PSMC5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PSMC5 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher PSMC5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PSMC5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where PSMC5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
