Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IL18RAP mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IL18RAP data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IL18RAP mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IL18RAP expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LSCC are the cancer types where IL18RAP mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
