Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GHRH RNA is linked to patient survival in 18 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated GHRH data layer compared with 3 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher GHRH RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GHRH expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUSC and SCLC show a favorable association.
KIRC, LIHC, and THCA are the cancer types where GHRH 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.
