The Molecular Landscape of Lung Metastasis in Primary Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas.
Curēus 2024 April
Background Lung metastasis in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is a critical concern, often indicating an advanced disease stage and a poor prognosis. This study explores the molecular complexities of such metastases, identifying specific genes and pathways that may serve as valuable targets for diagnosis and treatment. The findings underscore the potential for significantly improved patient outcomes through targeted therapeutic strategies. Methodology In this research, we systematically collected raw gene expression data from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). By comparing tumorous and normal gene expression profiles from paired patient samples, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Network analysis helped visualize protein interactions and pinpoint crucial hub genes. Through validation and comparison across several datasets, we identified common DEGs. Additionally, we employed Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank testing to examine the relationship between gene expression patterns and patient survival. Result The study identified 145 overlapping DEGs in both HNSCC and LSCC, which are crucial for cancer progression and linked to lung metastasis, offering vital targets for personalized therapy by identifying key genes affecting disease development and patient survival. Pathway analyses linked these to lung metastasis, while protein-protein interaction network construction and hub gene identification highlighted genes crucial for development and patient survival, offering targets for personalized therapy. Conclusion Identifying key genes and pathways in lung metastasis from HNC, this study highlights potential targets for enhanced diagnosis and therapy. It underscores the crucial role of molecular insights in driving forward personalized treatment approaches and improving patient outcomes.
