Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most frequent cancer in organ transplant recipients (OTRs). The immune system plays a major role in the fight against SCC, however, little is known about the local inflammatory response in SCC at all. We analyzed quantity and quality of the perineoplastic inflammatory SCC microenvironment in immunocompetent patients and immmunosuppressed OTRs. RNA expression profile of SCC patients was analyzed for 8 different sets of genes relating to Th1 versus Th2 response...     »
