Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TNFRSF21 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TNFRSF21 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TNFRSF21 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TNFRSF21 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where TNFRSF21 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
