摘要

Approximately two-thirds of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, with the worst prognosis among head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Identifying biomarkers for high-risk patients requiring aggressive treatment is crucial. We present mutational, transcriptomic, and proteomic studies of 103 Chinese HPSCC patients and observe a higher prevalence and poorer prognosis in males. Estrogen response pathways are up-regulated, and proteins phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are aberrantly regulated in HPSCC. We identify aberrant copy number regions including SOX2(3q26.33), FGFR(8p11.23), CCND1(11q13.3), CDKN2A/2B(9p21.3), and MYC(8q24.21). Human papillomavirus (HPV) status combined with highly mutated genes, such as SYNE1 in HPV(−) and MUC4 in HPV(+) patients, were assessed as prognosis markers. A predictive model involving clinical factors and expression of six genes was established and cross-site validated. These findings open new opportunities for stratifying high-risk patients and molecular targets for personalized therapeutic strategies.
