Although manganese metabolism (MAM) has been implicated in tumorigenesis and immune regulation, its prognostic relevance in CSCC has not been systematically explored, and existing prognostic models for CSCC have largely ignored MAM-related genes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      CSCC transcriptomic and clinical datasets were obtained from public databases. MAM-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by intersecting DEGs, weighted gene coexpression network analysis key module genes, and a curated MAM gene set. Prognostic genes were screened using univariate Cox, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariate Cox regression analyses to construct a risk model.

Patients were stratified into high- and low-risk groups, and survival was significantly worse in the high-risk group (p = 0.0034). The risk model demonstrated good predictive performance (1-\/2-\/3-year area under the curve = 0.72\/0.76\/0.83), and its performance was externally validated in an independent cohort. Notably, risk stratification was associated with distinct immune infiltration patterns (including natural killer cells and regulatory T cells), focal adhesion pathway enrichment, and differential drug sensitivity. A nomogram incorporating the risk score, race, and lymphovascular invasion exhibited improved prognostic stratification.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study presents the first MAM-related prognostic signature specifically tailored to CSCC, filling a gap in existing prognostic models that did not consider the role of MAM. The four-gene risk model offers a robust tool for patient stratification, with potential implications for guiding personalized immunotherapy and targeted therapy. These findings provide a novel framework for incorporating metabolic perspectives into CSCC prognosis and warrant further clinical validation.<\/jats:p>\n
