Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TUSC2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TUSC2 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TUSC2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TUSC2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and UCEC are the cancer types where TUSC2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
