Abstract

Simple Summary Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) is a rare malignancy whose incidence has been increasing worldwide. The main etiological factor is HPV infection, particularly in association with HIV infection and other immunosuppressive conditions. The majority of patients present with localized disease and are treated with chemoradiotherapy, but a significant percentage experience relapses, and approximately 10% present with advanced disease. In the advanced setting, the main therapeutic strategies are systemic chemotherapy and, more recently, immunotherapy, but the prognosis remains poor. In this context, the identification of novel personalized treatments and reliable predictive biomarkers is crucial.

Pathogenesis and research progress of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

As the most prevalent cancer within the head-neck area, squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) makes up approximately 90% of all instances in this region. It is marked by a considerable probability of local re-occurrence, wide-spread metastasis to cervical lymph nodes, and typically poor overall survival rates. The progressio...
