Adoptivzelltransfer - (pronounced) (uh-DOP-tiv sel TRANZ-fer) type of immunotherapy in which a patient is given T cells (a type of immune cell) to help the body fight diseases such as cancer. In cancer therapy, T cells are usually taken from the patient's own blood or tumor tissue, grown in large numbers in the laboratory, and then given back to the patient to help the immune system fight the cancer. Sometimes the T cells are modified in the lab to make them better at attacking and killing the patient's cancer cells. Types of adoptive cell transfer include chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapy and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy. Adoptive cell transfer, using T cells from a donor, is being studied in the treatment of some cancers and some infections. Also called adoptive cell therapy, cellular adoptive immunotherapy, and T cell transfer therapy
