Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RBFA mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RBFA data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher RBFA mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RBFA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where RBFA mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
