Abstrakt: Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common mucosal neoplasm that affects the head and neck region. It is the 6th most common cancer globally, most commonly seen in South Asian countries. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), like insulin receptor, is an adapter protein that integrates multiple transmembrane signals from growth factors and hormones, to regulate cell growth, survival, differentiation, and metabolism. Evidence suggests that IRS-1 plays a vital role in cancer progression and nodal metastasis. The aim was to assess the prognostic implications of the IRS-1 expression in HNSCC from evidence-based results.
Methods: A systematic literature search was done to identify articles describing IRS-1 and HNSCC carried out for PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar, using MeSH terms.
Results: A total of 486 cases of HNSCC were included in this systematic review. Out of 3 studies, increased/high expression of IRS-1 was 67%. 64% of the cases in stage I and stage II (TNM staging) showed higher expression of IRS-1, whereas 70% of stage III and stage IV cases showed upregulation of IRS-1. IRS-1 was equally upregulated in cases with lymph node metastasis as well as in cases without any lymph node metastasis. 74% of the patients who showed high expression of IRS-1 showed high mortality during the follow-up period of 13 months.
Conclusion: This review concluded that elevated levels of IRS-1 expression were associated with poor prognosis and increased lymph node metastasis.
