Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IL7R RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated IL7R data layer compared with 12 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher IL7R RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IL7R expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and SKCM show a favorable association.
LUAD, SKCM, and UVM are the cancer types where IL7R 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.
