Core Tip
Core Tip: This study investigated the expression of pescadillo ribosomal biogenesis factor 1 (PES1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tumor tissues from patients with gastric cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We found that both proteins exhibited significant positive expression rates (51.72% for PES1 and 58.62% for PD-L1) and were associated with clinical features such as TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Our results suggest that PES1 and PD-L1 may play critical roles in tumor progression and immune escape, potentially serving as biomarkers for immune-targeted therapies.
