Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZEB2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZEB2 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ZEB2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZEB2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where ZEB2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
