Salivary prognostic bacterial signatures associated with survival outcomes and recurrence risk in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Alterations in the oral microbiota are increasingly recognized as an integral component of the tumor microenvironment, forming a clinically relevant oncobiome that may modulate tumorigenesis, therapeutic response, and patient prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this prospective s...
