Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of established surgical and chemotherapy options, the treatment of bladder cancer (BCa) patients remains challenging. While immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach, its benefits are limited to a subset of patients. The exploration of additional targets to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy is a valuable research direction.
