Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RAD18 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RAD18 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher RAD18 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RAD18 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where RAD18 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
