Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TGFB2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TGFB2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher TGFB2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TGFB2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LSCC, UCEC, and HNSC are the cancer types where TGFB2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
