A variety of abnormal epithelial cells and immature and mature immune cells in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) affect histopathological features, the degree of malignancy, and the response to treatment. Here, gene expression, trajectory inference, and T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-based lineage tracking are profiled in TETs at single-cell resolution. An original subpopulation of KRT14 progenitor cells with a spindle cell phenotype is shown.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the clinical significance of circulating LDH levels in patients with TET.
Background: The advantages of radiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) depend on the radiation sensitivity of the patient. Here, we established and verified radiological factor-related gene signature and built a prognostic risk model to predict whether radiotherapy would be beneficial.
Methods: Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus, and RadAtlas databases were subjected to LASSO regression, univariate COX regression, and multivariate COX regression analyses to integrate genomic and clinical information from patients with HNSCC.
