Abstract:
This study in Oral Oncology highlights how neoadjuvant immunotherapy reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in HNSCC, increasing CD8+ T cells and reducing immunosuppressive cells. Using multiplex immunohistochemistry, it offers crucial spatial insights into TIME dynamics, paving the way for biomarker development and personalized therapies. Future research should explore combining this approach with single-cell technologies to elucidate functional immune states, enhancing our understanding of therapeutic responses and informing novel combinatorial treatment strategies.
