Distinct immunological features of oropharyngeal cancer peritumoral tonsillar tissues from inflammatory tonsils and regional lymph nodes: A pilot study
PTTs exhibit unique immunological features distinguishing them from inflammatory tonsils and rLNs. Gene expression analysis of PTTs is useful for investigating the mechanism of OPC lymphatic spread, even compared with analysis of rLNs.
