Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FGFR3 RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated FGFR3 data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher FGFR3 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FGFR3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BRCA and KIRC show a favorable association.
UCEC, UVM, and CHOL are the cancer types where FGFR3 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
