Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RAB26 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RAB26 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher RAB26 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RAB26 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where RAB26 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
