Comprehensive investigation of functional implications of CAFs in HNSCC. (a) Differential expression analyses of CAF-correlated genes, contrasting neoplastic with adjacent nontumoral tissues, derived from the TCGA HNSCC dataset. (b) Kaplan–Meier survival plots illustrate a statistically significant inverse correlation between elevated FAP expression and overall survival in HNSCC patients (). (c) Kaplan–Meier survival plots disclose a significant inverse relationship between augmented PDGFRA expression and patient survival duration (). (d) Pan-cancer analysis of FAP expression.  , , , and .
