Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VPS18 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VPS18 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher VPS18 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VPS18 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and COAD are the cancer types where VPS18 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
