Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RBM5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RBM5 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher RBM5 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RBM5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and COAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, COAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where RBM5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
