Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are a type of white blood cell that can be found inside tumors. They are a form of adaptive immunity that help the body fight against cancer. TILs can be isolated from tumors and used in adoptive cell therapy, a promising new cancer treatment that uses the immune system to fight the disease. After TILs are removed from the tumor, they are grown and activated in the lab, then re-introduced back into the body. This form of immunotherapy has the potential to offer a more effective and personalized treatment for cancer patients.
