Identification and validation of autophagy-related prognostic signature for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

In this study, we identified novel autophagy-related signature for the prediction of OS and DSS in patients with HNSCC. Meanwhile, our study provides a novel sight to understand the role of autophagy and elucidate the important role of autophagy in tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of HNSCC.
