Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNF8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RNF8 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher RNF8 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RNF8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and UCEC show a favorable association.
LSCC, UCEC, and PDAC are the cancer types where RNF8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
