Summary

This study tested a treatment that takes immune cells from a patient's own tumor, grows them in a lab, and gives them back to fight cancer. It included 225 adults with advanced melanoma, head and neck, or lung cancer. The goal was to see if these cells could shrink tumors and how safe the treatment was.
