Til Cell Therapy
What is TIL Cell Therapy?
TIL Cell Therapy is a new type of treatment in which tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill cancer cells) are harvested from a patient’s tumor and grown in large numbers in vitro. These lymphocytes are then given back to the patient by infusion to help the immune system recognize and eliminate cancer cells. TIL Cell Therapy is investigational and is currently only available in clinical trials. TIL Cell Therapy has not yet been approved for commercial use by Health Canada, the US Food & Drug Administration (US-FDA) or any other regulatory agency.
