Loss of Human Leukocyte Antigen and Immune Escape in Head and Neck Cancer
30 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Cancer cells evade recognition by the immune system to survive. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by high levels of immune infiltration and mutation-associated neoantigens; therefore, immune evasion is likely to be an important mechanism in HNSCC tumorigenesis and progression. A commonly employed mechanism of immune evasion is downregulation of human leukocyte...
