Spatial transcriptomic profiling of metastatic renal cell carcinoma identifies chemokine-driven macrophage and CD8+ T-cell interactions predictive of immunotherapy response
Background
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) still lacks tissue-based biomarkers that predict benefit from first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) regimens. High-resolution spatial transcriptomics can dissect the tumor microenvironment (TME)…
