Many patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) do not respond to first-line combination therapy. Here, the authors analyse the tumour and the tumour microenvironment of HPC patients treated with combination therapy using single-cell RNA-seq, and train a classifier to distinguish responders based on cell type composition.
