Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TSKU mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TSKU data layer compared with 31 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher TSKU mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TSKU expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where TSKU mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
