The role of rare earth elements and dietary intake in tongue cancer: a mediation analysis in southeast China.

Objective: The current research aimed to examine how dietary intake and rare earth elements may affect the development of tongue cancer.

Methods: The serum levels of 10 rare earth elements (REEs) in 171 cases and 171 healthy matched controls were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The conditional logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between dietary intake, serum levels of 10 REEs, and tongue cancer.

Utility of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to lymphocyte count ratio in predicting prognosis of patients with oral cancer: A prospective cohort study in Southeastern China.

Background: To assess the prognostic role of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to lymphocyte count ratio (GLR) and develop a prognostic nomogram for patients with oral cancer.

Methods: A prospective cohort (n = 1011) was conducted during July 2002 to March 2021 in Southeastern China.

Results: The median follow-up time was 3.

Development and Validation of a Robust Immune Prognostic Signature for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the most destructive of tumors, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality. Abnormal immune microenvironment is closely associated with tumor progression. This study aimed to construct a robust immune prognostic model for HNSCC.
