Understanding tumor heterogeneity in HNSCC by gene-expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) encompasses a heterogeneous group of distinct malignancies. Established prognostic factors are based on clinical and biological characteristics, including disease stage and site, performance status, comorbidities, smoking history, and human papillomavirus (HPV) status. Nonetheless, even when patients are categorized according to these parameters, significant variability in clinical behavior and treatment response remains. Recent advances in genomic technologies have enabled the identification of a range of genomic and epigenomic alterations that arise during tumor initiation and progression. A deeper understanding of this complex tumor heterogeneity is expected to pave the way for more personalized therapeutic approaches and the development of targeted treatments. One effective strategy for dissecting cancer heterogeneity is to identify molecularly defined subtypes and establish classifiers capable of predicting the subtype of new patient samples.
