Intratumoral CD56bright natural killer cells are associated with improved survival in bladder cancer.

Conclusions: NK cells are frequent among intratumoral lymphocytes in BC. Bladder intratumoral CD56bright NK cells are functional and prognostically relevant whereas CD56dim NK cells are dysfunctional and prevalent in higher stage tumors. Thus, CD56bright NK cells are promising targets in BC. PMID: 30559932 [PubMed]
