Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PTK2B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PTK2B data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher PTK2B mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PTK2B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
COAD, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where PTK2B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
