Zhang H, et al. - This research was executed in order to inspect the prognostic biomarkers in patients with human immunodeficiency virus-positive disease with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The data reported that disease site exhibited a prominent effect on the expression of biomarkers. The expression of tumor transforming growth factor (TGF-β) could serve as a significant addition to the conventional risk stratification equation for improving head and neck cancer disease management strategies.
