Abstract:Background
It is reported that cancer patients are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection due to immunocompromised immunity. To understand the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 in HNSC cancer, the current study is designed to assess the status of two vital host molecules (ACE2 & TMPRSS2) for the entry of virus in HNSC patients using computational methods.
Methodology
We used public databases such as TIMER, UALCAN, and GEPIA2 to assess the mRNA expression and association of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in HNSC. cBioPo… Show more
