Bladder urothelial carcinoma is one of the most prevalent urogenital cancer types with limited therapeutic options. Here, the authors characterize the tumor immune microenvironment of bladder cancer using single cell RNA sequencing and suggest a role for inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts in tumor progression.
