Spatial transcriptomics reveal tumor microenvironment and SLCO2A1 correlated with tumor suppression in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is a type of head and neck tumor with malignant behavior and poor prognosis. Spatial transcriptomics is a method that spatially analyzes gene expression patterns in tissues and has been used to discover tumor microenvironment and molecular markers in various tumors. However, there are no published reports on spatial transcriptomic analysis of HSCC.
