Spatial Profiling of the Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Microenvironment: Reshaping Our Understanding and Therapeutic Opportunities
Volume 3
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by a highly heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays a critical role in disease progression and therapeutic resistance. The emergence of spatial omics and multimodal imaging approaches, including spatial transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, has revolutionized the understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by preserving the spatial architecture of molecular landscapes. This review synthesizes key advances enabled by spatial omics in the..
