Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SPINT2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SPINT2 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher SPINT2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SPINT2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where SPINT2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
