Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UCHL3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated UCHL3 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher UCHL3 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated UCHL3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and PDAC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where UCHL3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
