Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRMT5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TRMT5 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TRMT5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TRMT5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where TRMT5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
