Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IRAK1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IRAK1 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IRAK1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IRAK1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and UCEC are the cancer types where IRAK1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
