Abstract

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) have an increasing incidence, high recurrence, and an overall unfavorable prognosis despite numerous treatment options. The distinct immune landscape of HNSCC suggests a potential for immune-related biomarkers to aid classification and treatment planning.

Areas covered: Immunoscore, a multiplex measure of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, is currently approved in colorectal carcinoma and is under investigation in various other cancer types. Recent studies have tried to implement the immunoscore and other novel immune cell-based scoring systems in HNSCC as predictors of survival. This study provides an overview of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and their prognostic significance, as well as a comparative summary of studies introducing an immunoscore in HNSCC.

Expert opinion: With sufficient insight of the current literature, future studies could lead to the definition and validation of a new immune-based classification system for HNSCC. Such a classification strategy could be the basis for patient selection and, thus, optimize treatment outcomes and reduce unwanted complications. The heterogeneity of HNSCC subtypes, as well as the intratumoral variability of immune infiltrates, should be accounted for in the immunoscore.

头颈部鳞状细胞癌的免疫评分：范围界定综述。

引言：尽管有多种治疗选择，但头颈部鳞状细胞癌的发病率仍在增加，复发率高，总体预后不良。HNSCC独特的免疫景观表明，免疫相关生物标志物有助于分类和治疗计划。涵盖的领域：免疫评分，一种肿瘤浸润免疫细胞的多重测量，目前已被批准用于结直肠癌，并正在研究其他各种癌症类型。最近的研究试图在HNSCC中实现免疫核心和其他新的基于免疫细胞的评分系统，作为生存的预测因素。本研究概述了肿瘤浸润性免疫细胞及其预后意义，并对在HNSCC中引入免疫核心的研究进行了比较总结。专家意见：如果对现有文献有足够的了解，未来的研究可能会为HNSCC定义和验证一种新的基于免疫的分类系统。这种分类策略可以作为患者选择的基础，从而优化治疗结果并减少不必要的并发症。HNSCC亚型的异质性，以及免疫浸润的肿瘤内变异性，应在免疫核心中考虑。

期刊介绍： Expert Review of Clinical Immunology (ISSN 1744-666X) provides expert analysis and commentary regarding the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic modalities in clinical immunology. Members of the International Editorial Advisory Panel of Expert Review of Clinical Immunology are the forefront of their area of expertise. This panel works with our dedicated editorial team to identify the most important and topical review themes and the corresponding expert(s) most appropriate to provide commentary and analysis. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the finished reviews provide an essential contribution to decision-making in clinical immunology. Articles focus on the following key areas: • Therapeutic overviews of specific immunologic disorders highlighting optimal therapy and prospects for new medicines • Performance and benefits of newly approved therapeutic agents • New diagnostic approaches • Screening and patient stratification • Pharmacoeconomic studies • New therapeutic indications for existing therapies • Adverse effects, occurrence and reduction • Prospects for medicines in late-stage trials approaching regulatory approval • Novel treatment strategies • Epidemiological studies • Commentary and comparison of treatment guidelines Topics include infection and immunity, inflammation, host defense mechanisms, congenital and acquired immunodeficiencies, anaphylaxis and allergy, systemic immune diseases, organ-specific inflammatory diseases, transplantation immunology, endocrinology and diabetes, cancer immunology, neuroimmunology and hematological diseases.
