A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis demonstrated that THBS1-IT1 is a potential prognostic biomarker in not only KIRC but also multiple cancers, such as LUSC, BLCA, GBM, LGG, MESO, PAAD, STAD and THCA, it was correlated with tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor immune cell infiltration (TICI) and its high expression was related with poor survival. Here, THBS1 is linked to cancer.
