Since higher expression of IL17RB, IL17REL, and the memory B and aNK TS are associated with improved prognosis in HPV-infected HNSCC patients, we aimed to understand whether these IL17 receptor family genes may cooperate with certain immune or stromal cell types for improved prognosis in HNSCC patients by carrying out a combined survival analysis based on tumor expression of either IL17RB or IL7REL and our immune and stromal cell TS in HPV-infected HNSCC patients (Figure 6). The gene discussed is IL17REL; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
