Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TEAD1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TEAD1 data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TEAD1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TEAD1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and PDAC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where TEAD1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
