Video description:
This animation provides an overview of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Cell Therapy for melanoma. TIL Cell Therapy is a new type of immunotherapy that utilizes TIL to attack cancer cells. TIL Cell Therapy is now an FDA-approved treatment for non-uveal melanoma. In addition, researchers are conducting many clinical trials of potential new TIL treatments. TIL Cell Therapy is approved for people whose tumors have spread or cannot be surgically removed and who may have already had certain other melanoma treatments. Watch to learn how TIL Cell Therapy is prepared, how the infusion works, its effectiveness, possible side effects, and its current use in melanoma. You may want to ask your doctor if TIL Cell Therapy could be an option for you.
