EFNA2 Mediates Stiffness-Regulated Hypopharyngeal Cancer Progression [PDF]
Objectives Hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC), originating from the hypopharyngeal mucosa, is associated with a poor prognosis. Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is closely linked to tumor progression and patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the
