The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rising, especially in immunosuppressed individuals, highlighting the need for new prevention strategies. Commensal human papillomaviruses (cHPVs) are associated with cutaneous SCC (cSCC) in immunosuppressed patients. Because of the intricate interactions between T cell immunity and cHPVs in virus-colonized tissues, we propose that enhancing T cell immunity against cHPVs through vaccination could suppress SCC.
鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的发病率正在上升,尤其是在免疫抑制个体中,这凸显了对新预防策略的需求。共生人类乳头瘤病毒(cHPV)与免疫抑制患者的皮肤鳞状细胞癌(cSCC)相关。由于在病毒定植组织中T细胞免疫与cHPV之间存在复杂的相互作用,我们提出通过疫苗接种增强针对cHPV的T细胞免疫可能会抑制SCC。
