Prognostic Matrisomal Gene Panel and Its Association with Immune Cell Infiltration in Head and Neck Carcinomas
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is common worldwide and related to several risk factors including smoking, alcohol consumption, poor dentition and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Different etiological factors may influence the tumor microenvironment and play a role in dict...
