T cell infiltration tumor
T cells are a type of immune cell involved in identifying and killing cancer cells. T cells that infiltrate tumors, known as tumor infiltrating T cells (TILs), are a positive prognostic factor for cancer patients. Cellular therapies remove TILs from a patient, expand them in a laboratory, and administer them back to the patient.
