  • - Obesity rates, particularly severe obesity, have significantly increased globally, especially in the U.S., making it a leading risk factor for heart failure (HF) due to its harmful effects on heart health.
  • - There's a curious "obesity paradox" where some HF patients with obesity may have better outcomes than those with lower body mass, but recent research suggests that weight loss might still benefit certain HF patients.
  • - Despite this paradox, effective management strategies for obesity in HF patients are lacking, with long-term data needed to create concrete guidelines focusing on body composition.

Background: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of malignant cells is a driving force of disease progression in human papillomavirus-negative (HPV-negative) head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Sustained hyper-activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) induces an invasion-promoting subtype of EMT (EGFR-EMT) characterized by a gene signature ("'EGFR-EMT_Signature'") comprising 5´-ectonucleotidase CD73. Generally, CD73 promotes immune evasion via adenosine (ADO) formation and associates with EMT and metastases.
