Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TFE3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TFE3 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TFE3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TFE3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC, CCRCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TFE3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
