Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SF3B3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SF3B3 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher SF3B3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SF3B3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where SF3B3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
