Adoptive Cell Transfer (ACT)

Adoptive Cell Transfer (ACT) is an advanced cancer therapy that involves collecting a patient’s immune cells, mainly T cells, and boosting their ability to fight cancer. These cells are usually taken from the tumor or blood, then enhanced or expanded in the lab to better target cancer cells. Afterward, they are infused back into the patient’s bloodstream to attack the tumor directly. This personalized approach leverages the body's own immune system, aiming for more precise and effective cancer treatment, especially in cases where other therapies have limited success.
