- Abstract
Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is characterized by phenotypic, biological, and clinical heterogeneity. Despite treatment modalities, approximately half of all patients will die of the disease. Several molecular biomarkers have been investigated, but until now, without clinical translation. Here, we identified an integrative nine-gene multi-omics signature correlated with HNC patients' survival independently of relapses or metastasis development. This prognosis multi-omic signature comprises genes mapped in the chromosomes 1q, 3p, 8q, 17q, 19p, and 19q and encompasses alterations at copy number, gene expression, and methylation. Copy number alterations in LMCD1-A1S and GRM7, the methylation status of CEACAM19, KRT17, and ST18, and the expression profile of RPL29, UBA7, FCGR2C, and RPSAP58 can predict the HNC patients' survival. The difference higher than two years observed in the survival of HNC patients that harbor this nine-gene multi-omics signature can represent a significant step forward to improve patients' management and guide new therapeutic targets development.
