Summary

This study tests whether specially selected immune cells taken from a patient's own lung tumor can be grown in a lab and then given back to shrink advanced non-small cell lung cancer. About 85 adults aged 18–72 with stage IV or unresectable disease and a tumor that can be safely removed may join. Participants undergo surgery to harvest the cells, then receive chemotherapy and the cell infusion during a 4-week hospital stay, with regular follow-up for up to a year.
