Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, with an estimated 342,000 deaths worldwide in 2020. Current standard of care in the UK for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemoradiotherapy with weekly cisplatin, yet 5-year overall survival rates are only 65% with a distant relapse rate of 50%.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a common and heterogeneous malignancy of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Surgery and radio(chemo)therapy are the standard treatment options and also have great influence on the composition of the tumor microenvironment and immune cell functions.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by tumor heterogeneity, locoregional metastases, and resistance to existing treatments. Although a number of genomic and molecular alterations associated with HNSCC have been identified, they have had limited impact on the clinical management of this disease.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) represent a heterogeneous group of cancers for which human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is an emerging risk factor. Previous studies showed promoter hypermethylation in HPV(+) oropharyngeal cancers, but only few consistent target genes have been so far described, and the evidence of a functional impact on gene expression is still limited.

Lower lip squamous cell carcinoma is a significant subtype of head and neck cancer, constituting about 25–30% of cases. Traditional surgical methods, like primary closure, have limitations in managing large resections of lip tumors.

The optimal duration of anti-PD-1 for cancer therapy has not been tested, especially when using combination therapy. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway blocker was the top compound that enhanced T-cell killing of tumor cells in a high-throughput immune-oncology screen, possibly by stimulate the antigen presentation machinery and other mechanisms.

Recurrent/ metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (R/M SCCNH) is still a difficult-totreat disease with poor clinical outcomes and limited treatment choices. In view of locoregional recurrent versus dis‑ tant metastatic SCCHN, the therapeutic efcacy of cetuximab-containing regimen and relevant prognostic factors for these two groups may be different.

New concepts for a more efective anti-cancer therapy are urgently needed. Experimental faws rep‑ resent a major counter player of this development and lead to inaccurate and unreproducible data as well as unsuc‑ cessful translation of research approaches into clinics. In a previous study we have created epithelial cell cultures from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissue.

Tumor microenvironment (TME) is of great importance to regulate the initiation and advance of cancer. The immune infiltration patterns of TME have been considered to impact the prognosis and immunotherapy sensitivity in Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Whereas, specific molecular targets and cell components involved in the HNSCC tumor microenvironment remain a twilight zone.

Postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a standard therapy for patients with high-risk factors for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, including positive margin and extra-nodal extension (ENE). However, the prognostic impact of the number of pathological metastatic lymph nodes (pLNs) in hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) is unclear.

As a human tumor disease, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a high mortality rate worldwide. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are transmembrane receptor proteins and exert their biological effects following activation by nicotine. We aimed to construct a prognostic signature based on the expression of nAChRs among smokers with HNSCC.
