Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has underscored non-cell-autonomous roles of mutant p53 in reshaping the composition and functional state of tumour immune microenvironment (TIME). However, the impact of p53 status on the clinical relevance and functional differentiation of CD8+ T cells remains poorly understood in urothelial carcinoma (UC). METHODS: Our study included 297 UC patients from two in-house cohorts and...
