Histological assessment showed restoration of islet morphology with an increase in β-cell area, consistent with protective and recovery-associated effects. Multi-omics analyses supported modulation of metabolic and inflammatory pathways, including PI3K/AKT, AMPK, and NF-κB, consistent with improved glucose homeostasis and reduced oxidative stress (MDA ↓52.4 %, SOD ↑2.1-fold).

Emerging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical and photoacoustic imaging, allow the examination of large portions of the TME without necessarily incising them. These include low oxygen levels, new blood vessel formation, immunocyte infiltration, alterations in the extracellular matrix, and changes in body energy consumption. The development of new radiotracers, activatable probes, and multimodal nanoparticles has simplified the process of viewing the TME at a higher level and displaying more than one thing at a time. TME imaging aids clinicians in identifying aggressive malignancies at an earlier stage and displays changes in molecules and functions prior to the emergence of structural alterations that are easy to observe. This simplifies the identification and prioritization of risks, thereby accelerating treatment initiation. If doctors can discover TME features without surgery, they can also tailor treatments to each individual, observe the progress of treatments early, and modify treatments based on the behavior of each tumor. In particular, it is difficult to normalize imaging methods, demonstrate that new probes can be used in clinical settings, and relate molecular imaging data to data from other omics platforms. Therefore, the design of finer and more valid probes is required. Multicentre clinical trials are needed to determine the ability of TME imaging biomarkers to predict outcomes. Finally, we would like AI to create models that will assist us in examining photographs and making better conjectures. There is a continual improvement in molecular imaging tools.

In this conceptual review, the authors critically examine the molecular processes, clinical activity, safety, biomarker-guided precision of their approach, resistance biology, and combination regimens of toripalimab-tpzi in HNSCC. Toripalimab-tpzi offers antitumor effects due to selective inhibition restricting the PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis, which restores cytotoxic T-cell activity and intensifies the antitumor immune responses. In the Phase I-III clinical trials on recurrent or metastatic HNSCC, the objective response rates of toripalimab-tpzi were around 20-36, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.8–4.5 months, and the median overall survival was 10–15 months, especially with PD-L1-enriched populations. The safety profile is comparable to the PD-1 class effects, and the majority of the immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were grade 1-2 and grade 3-4 toxicities that were rare in less than 20 percent of the patients. The new evidence is pointing to the significance of patient selection according to biomarker to maximize therapeutic response. The single predictive utility of such markers as PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or immune gene signatures is variable, with the deficiency of single-biomarker systems. Integration therapy involving toripalimab-tpzi and platinum-based chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies, or other immunomodulators has been shown to result in better response rates (up to 4060 % in select studies) and may result in resistance being overcome by intrinsic or acquired immunomodulatory mechanisms. Unlike previous generalized scientific reviews of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking in HNSCC, the article summarizes the toripalimab-tpzi-specific clinical and translational data and suggests a precautionary immunotherapy paradigm and a biomarker-driven combination-resistance management plan. Taken together, the above data favor toripalimab-tpzi as a clinically significant supplement to precision immunotherapy in HNSCC, whose optimal role is determined by the biologically informed selection of patients and the rational combination of multimodal treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72080,"journal":{"name":"Advances in biomarker sciences and technology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 269-291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
