  "summary": "Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contribute to systemic therapy resistance in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but their functional heterogeneity and relevance to curative bladder-preserving radiotherapy, are poorly understood. Methods: Transcriptomic analysis was performed on 279 tumours from BC2001, a phase 3 radiotherapy clinical trial. To study CAF heterogeneity, we…",
