The relationship between cancer stem cells (CSCs) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)/programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to clarify the association between the CD44v3/CD24 immunophenotype of CSCs in OSCC and PD-L1/PD-1 co-expression, and to assess the prognostic effect of CSCs in terms of immune checkpoint molecules. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples and clinicopathological data from 168 patients with OSCC were retrospectively retrieved.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1280 enrolled patients, 86 (6.7%) developed HCC during the follow-up, with key factors like serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, Fibrosis-4 index, and MASLD identified as independent risk factors for HCC development.
- * The findings highlight that MASLD is a significant risk factor for HCC, even in patients with low AFP levels, suggesting the need for monitoring MASLD in patients who have eradicated HCV. *
