Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a highly heterogeneous malignancy is often associated with unfavorable prognosis. Due to its unique anatomical position and the absence of effective early inspection methods, surgical intervention alone is frequently inadequate for achieving complete remission. Therefore, the identification of reliable biomarker is crucial to enhance the accuracy of screening and treatment strategies for HNSCC.
