Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RAD51B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RAD51B data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher RAD51B mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RAD51B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and LSCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where RAD51B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
