  • A multi-omics analysis of tumors from 834 people with non-muscle-invasive gladder cancer (NMIBC) reveals a new molecular subtype with worse outcomes. First author Sia Viborg Lindskrog explained key take-home messages in a tweetorial. She invited other scientists to classify their own NMIBC samples using their tool at nmibc-class.dk.
