Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TADA2B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TADA2B data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TADA2B mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TADA2B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TADA2B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
