Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, S100A3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated S100A3 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher S100A3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated S100A3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
GBM, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where S100A3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
