Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SPEF1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SPEF1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher SPEF1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SPEF1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC are the cancer types where SPEF1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
