Article Synopsis
  • Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) shows varied effectiveness against solid tumors, with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) responding poorly compared to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).
  • The study aimed to evaluate the expression of immune checkpoints (PD-1, PD-L1, CD28, and CD86) in cSCC and BCC using tissue samples and found significantly higher levels in cSCC, particularly in the tumor's invasive front.
  • The results suggest that higher levels of PD-1, PD-L1, and CD28 in cSCC, along with a dominance of inhibitory markers, may explain its better response to anti-PD-1 therapy compared to BCC.

Background: Atherosclerosis and its secondary diseases display a major threat to patient's health. Sequelae, like carotid artery calcification (CAC), usually develop over decades and remain asymptomatic for a long time, making preventive measures to reduce mortality and morbidity extremely important. Through panoramic radiography (PR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), dentists may have helpful tools in aiding the holistic care of patients.
