Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RB1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RB1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher RB1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RB1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where RB1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
