Therapy-Related Transcriptional Subtypes in Matched Primary and Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Peter Weber et al.

Summary: There is a high degree of genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity between primary and recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Treatment decisions should be based on the genetic and transcriptional characteristics of recurrent tumors to enable personalized treatment strategies.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Plasticity in Tumor Immune Evasion

Riley D. Z. Mullins et al.

Summary: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer is considered a plastic process, where malignant cells can display and interconvert among hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) states. These hybrid E/M states have unique immunomodulatory effects distinct from classical EMT.

Cancer Statistics, 2021

Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Every year, the American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States, with the latest data showing a significant decline in lung cancer mortality, while prostate cancer mortality has plateaued and breast and colorectal cancer mortality have slowed. Improvements in treatment have accelerated progress against lung cancer, leading to a record drop in overall cancer mortality.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition-Derived Heterogeneity in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Philipp Baumeister et al.

Summary: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are common malignancies with resistance to multi-modal therapy modalities, leading to metastasis, local recurrence, and poor survival. Understanding the molecular heterogeneity of HNSCC and its impact on treatment response is crucial for improving patient stratification and developing new therapeutic approaches to overcome therapy resistance.

Decoupling epithelial-mesenchymal transitions from stromal profiles by integrative expression analysis

Michael Tyler et al.

Summary: The study compares mesenchymal signatures from cancer and stromal cells using published single cell RNA-seq data and develops a computational framework to separate these two sources of mesenchymal expression profiles. Interestingly, it finds three distinct patterns of EMT associated with different cancer types, with most types not showing a direct association between EMT patterns and increased metastasis likelihood. This work provides a comprehensive evaluation of EMT profiles across various tumors while overcoming the confounding effects of stromal cells.

Genes involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in oral cancer: A systematic review

Carmen Vallina et al.

Summary: This systematic review investigated the genetic signature of EMT process in oral cancer and its relationship with the prognostic variables of OSCC. The overexpression or under-expression of genes such as HNRNPC, ITGA5, HMGA2, SRSF3, ALDH3A1, and ARID2 are associated with worse prognosis of OSCC. Further studies in different countries are needed to confirm these results and evaluate the potential of these genes as prognostic indicators.

Resection Margins in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery: An Update of Residual Disease and Field Cancerization

Annouk S. Pierik et al.

Summary: Treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma relies heavily on local and regional control, but recurrence can occur due to residual disease and field cancerization. Surgical resection is a key aspect of treatment, but a significant percentage of patients still experience locoregional recurrences despite clear surgical margins.

TISCH: a comprehensive web resource enabling interactive single-cell transcriptome visualization of tumor microenvironment

Dongqing Sun et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy targeting co-inhibitory pathways by checkpoint blockade has shown significant efficacy, but only a minority of patients respond due to tumor microenvironment heterogeneity. TISCH is a large curated database that integrates single-cell transcriptomic profiles from 76 high-quality tumor datasets across 27 cancer types, providing a user-friendly interface for exploring gene expression atlas in the TME from multiple cancer types.
