Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TCFL5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TCFL5 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher TCFL5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TCFL5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LUAD show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where TCFL5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
