The abscopal effect of radiation therapy, alone or in combination with other treatments, has been extensively studied over the last six decades.

Although immunotherapy and radiation therapy are promising in producing the abscopal effect, the abscopal effect's mechanism is still unclear, owing to various factors such as irradiation type and dose and cancer type.

The fundamental premise of NCT is that organisms may actively influence evolutionary processes by modifying their circumstances [<span>1</span>]⁠.</p><p>According to Trappes et al., [<span>2</span>] the concept of niche construction should only be applied to species that alter their environment, which they believe to be its intuitive scope. They add two more terms to describe the ways that organisms engage with their surroundings and so influence their niches: when organisms choose their environment, this is known as niche choice, and when they adapt their phenotype to fit their environment, this is known as niche conformance. These three concepts are often referred to as niche-altering mechanisms, or NC³ mechanisms: niche conformance, niche construction, and niche choice. This is in line with definitions of mechanisms developed in scientific philosophy [<span>2</span>]⁠.</p><p>Cancer was attempted to be explained using NC³ mechanisms in this essay.</p><p>Carcinogenesis is a three-stage process that includes initiation, progression, and metastasis [<span>3</span>]. Cancer initiation is an example of niche conformance. Phenotypic plasticity, or an organism's ability to develop distinct phenotypes in response to environmental variation, is involved in niche conformance. Unlike phenotypic plasticity, niche conformance also includes how phenotypic adjustment leads to changes in the phenotype-environment match and fitness [<span>2</span>]⁠.</p><p>The constant replacement of old cells with newly formed healthy differentiated cells (progeny) originating from adult stem cells regulates epithelial tissue turnover. Each differentiated cell in an organism expresses a subset of all the genes found in that species' genome. The pattern of gene expression defines a differentiated cell type (hepatocyte, enterocyte, and so on). Adult stem cells are thought to reside in many tissues within a niche formed by a group of cells and an extracellular matrix that provides an optimal environment for the adult stem cell. Furthermore, adult stem cells are resistant to apoptosis, making them more resistant to the damaging effects of environmental stress than their progeny [<span>4, 5</span>]⁠⁠.</p><p>The stress stimulus exposure consists of all current environmental parameters (including the stress stimulus) as well as the organism's phenome (all features of the organism at that moment). The phenomenon of ‘this particular moment’ bears the effects of all previous encounters; the organism has plasticity (the phenomenal repertoire it can demonstrate in response to environmental changes) and abilities due to all previous processes (both from the organism's own life process and from the processes of its ancestors).

Cancer metastasis is the main cause of poor prognosis in HNC patients. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs), initially thought to have no biological function, are attracting increasing attention, and their crucial roles in mediating HNC metastasis are being extensively investigated. Existing studies have shown that circRNAs primarily function through miRNA sponges, transcriptional regulation, interacting with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and as translation templates. Among these functions, the function of miRNA sponge is the most prominent. In this review, we summarized the reported circRNAs involved in HNC metastasis, aiming to elucidate the regulatory relationship between circRNAs and HNC metastasis. Furthermore, we summarized the latest advances in the epidemiological information of HNC metastasis and the tumor metastasis theories, the biogenesis, characterization and functional mechanisms of circRNAs, and their potential clinical applications. Although the research on circRNAs is still in its infancy, circRNAs are expected to serve as prognostic markers and effective therapeutic targets to inhibit HNC metastasis and significantly improve the prognosis of HNC patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":100212,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Innovation","volume":"2 6","pages":"463-487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cai2.50","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90683775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
