Mayo Clinic | Mayo Clinic Minute - What is TIL therapy? @MayoClinic | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Melanoma is a dangerous form of skin cancer that has the potential to spread to other parts of the body.

Approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, according to the American Cancer Society. In early 2024, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new treatment for advanced melanoma called tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy (TIL therapy).

Dr. James Jakub, a Mayo Clinic surgical oncologist, explains that TIL therapy can be an effective one-time treatment for some patients diagnosed with advanced melanoma.
