Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TNK1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TNK1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher TNK1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TNK1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and HNSC show a favorable association.
UCEC, HNSC, and PDAC are the cancer types where TNK1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
