Abstract
Over decades, reports of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes inducing partial and even complete responses in treatment-refractory tumors has spurred investigation into methods for refining and improving this process. Zacharias et al.1 report two partial and one complete response from a phase II study utilizing neoantigen-reactive TILs in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
