Abstract:Both the absence of autophagy and excessive autophagy is double-edged sword in tumorigenesis. Due to the specificity of autophagy, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still unclear. In this study, we established five autophagy-related patterns in 1165 HNSCC patients with distinct cellular and molecular characteristics. Additionally, we developed a new scoring system (ATPscore) based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among these five patterns, to represent the individual auto… Show more
