Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, USP31 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated USP31 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher USP31 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated USP31 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and UCEC show a favorable association.
LUAD, LSCC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where USP31 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
