Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPTOR mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPTOR data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher RPTOR mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPTOR expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where RPTOR mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
