Adoptive Cell Transfer

Adoptive Cell Transfer (ACT) is a cancer treatment that involves collecting a patient’s own immune cells, specifically T cells, and growing or modifying them in the lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells. These enhanced cells are then infused back into the patient’s body, boosting their immune response against the tumor. ACT leverages the body's natural defenses, making it a personalized and targeted approach to fight cancer more effectively. It has shown promising results, especially in cancers like melanoma and certain blood cancers.
