Abstract:
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide.Despite many advances in the treatment of lung cancer in the past,there is currently a lack of effective second-line treatment options for patients who are not candidates for targeted therapy and immunotherapy or who progress after first-line treatment.Adoptive cell therapy(ACT),based on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes(TILs),is a highly personalized approach to cancer immunotherapy.Tumor cells are killed using immune cells from the patient's own solid tumor microenvironment.This article reviews the basic process of TILs therapy,discusses the current application of TILs in the treatment of lung cancer,as well as the limitations and future development direction of TILs therapy,in order to obtain more extensive clinical application in the treatment of lung cancer.
