    Abstract Background: Cisplatin- based chemoradiotherapy is a crucial pillar in the treatment of HNSCC. The use of cisplatin comes with high toxicity rates as 35% of patients cannot sustain the planned dose while response is unpredictable. Unfortunately, there are no clinically applicable biomarkers to predict response. Based on the association of response with the number of DNA adducts and the involved molecular pathway to resolve cisplatin-induced DNA crosslinks in HNSCC, [195mPt]cisplatin (CISSPECT®) might have potential to monitor drug uptake and retention before treatment, and predict cisplatin response. The aim of this study is to investigate this concept by analyzing uptake, retention and biodistribution of [195mPt]cisplatin between known cisplatin-sensitive (VU-SCC-1131) and -resistant (VU-SCC-OE) HNSCC cell lines in vitro and xenografted in mice in vivo.
    Results: By a variety of experiments in vitro, including cell cycle analyses, and in vivo, the sensitivity of cell line VU-SCC-1131 and resistance of cell line VU-SCC-OE for cisplatin was demonstrated. VU-SCC-OE was able to accumulate more [195mPt]cisplatin in the DNA, and showed an increased capability to repair [195mPt]cisplatin crosslinks compared to VU-SCC-1131. Notably, DNA binding of cisplatin increased even when cisplatin was removed from the medium, likely from intracellular sources. In vivo, [195mPt]cisplatin showed a rapid biodistribution to the large organs such as the liver, with no differences between intravenous and intraperitoneal administration. Most circulating [195mPt]cisplatin was cleared by renal filtration, and accumulation in kidney and liver remained high. Uptake in xenografts was rapid (blood:tumor ratio; 1:1) and highest after 1 h, while decreasing after 6 h in line with the concentration in the blood. Remarkably, there was no significant difference in uptake or retention between xenografts of the cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant cell line.
    Conclusion: VU-SCC-1131 with a known FA deficiency and VU-SCC-OE displayed a significant difference in sensitivity to and recovery from cisplatin treatment, due to S-phase problems in VU-SCC-1131 at low doses, in line with the genetic defect. Using Pt-195m radioactivity analysis, we demonstrated the limited capability of cisplatin crosslink repair in VU-SCC-1131. Unexpectedly, we were not able to translate these findings to a mouse model for sensitivity prediction based on the biodistribution in the tumor, most likely as other factors such as influx counterbalanced repair. These data do not support response prediction by [195mPt]cisplatin, and applications to predict the toxic side-effects of cisplatin and to tailor dosing schemes seem more feasible.

    Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) develop in the mucosal lining of the upper-aerodigestive tract. In carcinogen-induced HNSCC, tumors emerge from premalignant mucosal changes characterized by tumor-associated genetic alterations, also coined as 'fields' that are occasionally visible as leukoplakia or erythroplakia lesions but are mostly invisible. Consequently, HNSCC is generally diagnosed

    Abstract Surgery is one of the mainstays of head and neck cancer treatment, and aims at radical resection of the tumor with 1 cm tumor-free margins to obtain locoregional control. Surgical margins are evaluated by histopathological examination of the resection specimen. It has been long an enigma that approximately 10-30% of surgically treated head and neck cancer patients develop locoregional recurrences even though the resection margins were microscopically tumor-free. However, the origins of these recurrences have been elucidated by a variety of molecular studies. Recurrences arise either from minimal residual disease, cancer cells in the surgical margins that escape detection by the pathologist when examining the specimen, or from precancerous mucosal changes that may remain unnoticed. Head and neck tumors develop in mucosal precursor changes that are sometimes visible but mostly not, fueling research into imaging modalities such as autofluorescence, to improve visualization. Mostly unnoticed, these precancerous changes may stay behind when the tumor is resected, and subsequent malignant progression will cause a local relapse. This led to a clinical trial of autofluorescence-guided surgery, of which the results were reported in 2020. This review focuses on the most recent literature of the improved diagnosis of the resection margins of surgically treated head and neck cancer patients, the pathobiological origin of recurrent disease, and relevant biomarkers to predict local relapse. Directions for further research will be discussed, including potential options for improved and personalized treatment, based on the most recently published data.

    Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) arise in the mucosal linings of the upper aerodigestive tract and are unexpectedly heterogeneous in nature. Classical risk factors are smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and in recent years, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) has emerged, particularly in oropharyngeal tumours. HPV-induced oropharyngeal tumours are considered a separate disease entity, which recently has manifested in an adapted prognostic staging system while the results of de-intensified treatment trials are awaited. Carcinogenesis caused by HPV in the mucosal linings of the upper aerodigestive tract remains an enigma, but with some recent observations, a model can be proposed. In 2015, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) consortium published a comprehensive molecular catalogue on HNSCC. Frequent mutations of novel druggable oncogenes were not demonstrated, but the existence of a subgroup of genetically distinct HPV-negative head and neck tumours with favourable prognoses was confirmed. Tumours can be further subclassified based on genomic profiling. However, the amount of molecular data is currently overwhelming and requires detailed biological interpretation. It also became apparent that HNSCC is a disease characterized by frequent mutations that create neoantigens, indicating that immunotherapies might be effective. In 2016, the first results of immunotherapy trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors were published, and these may be considered as a paradigm shift in head and neck oncology.

    Abstract Objectives: A classification and staging system for oral leukoplakia (OL) was introduced to promote uniform reporting. In this system, size and the histopathologic diagnosis are assessed and combined in a staging system. The various stages could be predictive for malignant transformation of OL. Differentiated dysplasia (DD) was recently recognized as an important architectural pattern of dysplasia and is highly associated with malignant transformation (MT) of OL. In the present study, DD was incorporated in the OL-system. The aim of the present study was to test the adapted system on a cohort of patients with OL.
    Patient and methods: The group consisted of 140 patients. The size, absence or presence and degree of classic dysplasia (CD) and DD were incorporated into the OL-system.
    Results: In 31/140 patients, MT occurred. Size was not statistically significant with MT (p = 0.422). The presence of dysplasia was predictive for MT (p = 0.003), whereby severe CD and DD were highly statistically significant for MT (p = 0.008). Stage IV was statistically significant for MT (p = 0.011).
    Conclusions: The present study emphasizes the value of the slightly modified OL-system with incorporation of DD in uniform reporting of OL and the value in predicting MT.

    Abstract Background: The response rate to immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor is 13%-18% for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Detailed understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is crucial in order to explain and improve this response rate. HNSCCs arise at various anatomical locations including the oral cavity, hypopharynx, larynx and oropharynx. Studies directly comparing immune infiltration between anatomical sites are scarce. Since the distinct locations could drive deviating microenvironments, we questioned whether the immune composition varies across these HNSCC sites.
    Methods: Here, we characterized the TIME of 76 fresh tumor specimens using flow cytometry and performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on nine head and neck tumor samples.
    Results: We found major differences in the composition of the TIME between patients. When comparing anatomical sites: tumors originating from the oral cavity had higher T cell infiltrates than tumors from other anatomical sites. The percentage of tumor-infiltrating T-lymphocytes positive for the immune checkpoint PD-1 varied considerably between patients, with the highest fraction of PD-1+ T cells found in larynx squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). While we had hypothesized that the anatomical sites of tumor origin would drive sample clustering, our data showed that the type of TIME was more dominant and was particularly driven by the fraction of T cells positive for PD-1. Moreover, a high proportion of PD-1+ CD8+ T cells associated with an improved overall survival. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we observed that PD-1 expression was highest in the CD8-ENTPD1 tissue resident memory T cell/exhausted T cell and CD4-CXCL13 type 1 T helper cell clusters.
    Conclusions: We found that oral cavity SCCs had the highest frequencies of T cells. We also observed considerable interpatient heterogeneity for PD-1 on T cells, with noticeably higher frequencies of PD-1+ CD4+ T helper cells in larynx SCCs. Within the entire cohort, a higher fraction of CD8+ T cells positive for PD-1 was linked to improved overall survival. Whether the fraction of PD-1+ T cells within the TIME enables immune checkpoint inhibitor response prediction for patients with head and neck cancer remains to be determined.
