Decoding strategies for enhancing immunotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

International immunopharmacology
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have partially improved treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but the response rate remains low, with only a few patients benefiting. Mechanistically, HNSCC tumor cells often ...

Spatial profiling of HPV-stratified head and neck squamous cell carcinoma reveals distinct immune niches and microenvironmental architectures.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: HPV status is a key determinant of prognosis and treatment response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To investigate how HPV influences the tumor-immune-stromal landscape, we performed high-dimensional spatial profiling, i...

Micrometastasis and Isolated Tumor Cells in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Refining Nodal Staging with Emerging Technologies.

Head and neck pathology
PURPOSE: Cervical lymph node metastasis significantly influence prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), guiding staging, treatment decisions, and overall survival. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) offers a minimally invasive approach for e...

Comprehensive integration of single-cell and bulk transcriptome to reveal plasma cell heterogeneity and a prognosis signature in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral oncology
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent malignancy with a low five-year survival rate, emphasising the urgent need for effective prognostic biomarkers to guide patient stratification and personalised treatment. Plasma cells (PCs)...

Network-based approach identifies key genes associated with tumor heterogeneity in HPV positive and negative head and neck cancer patients.

Scientific reports
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most prevalent cancer worldwide and is classified as human papillomavirus (HPV) positive or negative. Substantial heterogeneity has been observed in the two groups, posing a significant cli...

Unraveling prognostic biomarkers in oral squamous cell carcinoma: An approach based on explainable artificial intelligence.

Cancer genetics
Oral cancer is among the top malignancies and the leading cause of death worldwide. Poor outcomes are attributed to local recurrence and distant metastasis of disease. There is an urgent need to identify the potential biomarkers that may help in prog...

Identification of DSC2 as a Key Biomarker for Induction Chemotherapy Sensitivity in Locally Advanced Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-LHSCC) urgently need precise treatment strategies to improve the prognosis due to severe laryngeal functional impairment following traditional surgery and chemora...

Artificial Intelligence for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: From Diagnosis to Treatment.

American Society of Clinical Oncology educational book. American Society of Clinical Oncology. Annual Meeting
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a globally prevalent malignancy with high morbidity and mortality. Despite therapeutic advances, patient outcomes are hindered by tumor heterogeneity, treatment-related toxicity, and the limitatio...

Post-processing steps improve generalisability and robustness of an MRI-based radiogenomic model for human papillomavirus status prediction in oropharyngeal cancer.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of image post-processing steps on the generalisability of MRI-based radiogenomic models. Using a human papillomavirus (HPV) status in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) prediction model, this study examines...
