Exploring the Complexity of Cutaneous Squamous CellCarcinoma Microenvironment: Focus on Immune Cell Roles by Novel 3D In Vitro Models.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), comprising basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), represents the most common type of cancer worldwide, particularly among Caucasians. While BCC is locally invasive with minimal metastatic potential, cSCC is a highly aggressive tumor with a significant potential for metastasis, particularly in elderly populations. Tumor development and progression and the metastasis of cSCC are influenced by a complex interplay between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. Recent research highlights the importance of various immune cell subsets, including T cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and dendritic cells, in influencing tumor progression, immune evasion, and treatment resistance. This review outlines key regulatory mechanisms in the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) of cSCC and explores the role of cytokines, immune checkpoints, and stromal interactions. We further discuss the relevance of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models such as spheroids, organoids, and tumor-on-chip systems as tools to mimic immune-tumor interactions with higher physiological relevance, such as macrophage activation and polarization against cSCC cells. Globally, 3D models offer new opportunities for immunotherapy screening and mechanistic studies. Understanding the immune landscape in cSCC through advanced modeling techniques holds strong clinical potential for improving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
