One cutting-edge cancer treatment exciting researchers today involves collecting and reprogramming a patient’s T cells—a special set of immune cells—then putting them back into the body ready to detect and destroy cancerous cells. Although effective for widespread blood cancers like leukemia, this method rarely succeeds at treating solid tumors.
