Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGF1R mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGF1R data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher IGF1R mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGF1R expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where IGF1R mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
