Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RETREG2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RETREG2 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher RETREG2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RETREG2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and HNSC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, GBM, and HNSC are the cancer types where RETREG2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
