Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yoshiaki Kitsukawa"

  • - Yoshiaki Kitsukawa's recent research focuses on the role of immune checkpoints in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), specifically the differences between keratinized and non-keratinized epithelial origins in the tumor microenvironment.
  • - His study highlights the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-L1 antibodies, in new treatment strategies for oral cancer and explores how cancer cells evade the immune system.
  • - The retrospective analysis of the expression of several immune-related factors (PD-L1, PD-1, CD4, CD8, CD47, CD56, and CD11c) reveals notable correlations with clinicopathological outcomes in OSCC, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.
