: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is the most prevalent cancer in the head and neck region, originating from the mucosal epithelium of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. The solute carrier (SLC) transporter superfamily, consisting of over 400 proteins across 65 families, plays a crucial role in cellular functions and presents promising targets in precision oncology. This study aims to analyze the expression of SLC transporters in HNSC and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
