IGFBP2 expression was associated with lower overall survival (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.31–1.88) and progression‐free survival (HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.04–1.34) in cancer patients, but not with disease‐free survival (HR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.91–2.46) or recurrence‐free survival (HR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.93–2.40). This evidence concerns the gene IGFBP2 and cancer.
