T CELL TRANSFER THERAPY – 2ND TYPE OF IMMUNOTHERAPY

T cell transfer therapy is another type of immunotherapy (for the 1st type – Nonspecific immune stimulation – search ⬇️)

T cells are a type of immune cell and are powerful weapons the immune system uses to fight cancer.

For T cell transfer therapy, T cells are taken from a patient and changed in the laboratory to make them better able to target the patient’s cancer cells and kill them.

Millions of copies of these specially changed T cells are then grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient to fight the cancer.
