Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment improves overall survival in metastatic urothelial cancer, but response of individual patients varies significantly. Authors here perform whole-genome DNA and bulk RNA sequencing on samples from metastatic tumours and based on these data, they set up a single metric, T cell-to-stroma enrichment (TSE) score, that reflects the relative abundance of T cells versus stromal cells and their products, accurately predicting therapeutic outcome.
