Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RSPO2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated RSPO2 data layer compared with 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher RSPO2 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RSPO2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM and LIHC show a favorable association.
KIRC, ACC, and BLCA are the cancer types where RSPO2 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.
