Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TPBG mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TPBG data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TPBG mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TPBG expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TPBG mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
