Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RIPK4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RIPK4 data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher RIPK4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RIPK4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where RIPK4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
