Advances in Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) as a Prognostic Factor and for Treating Invasive Cutaneous Melanoma.

Abstract

Invasive cutaneous melanoma is responsible for about 5% of skin tumors yet is liable for nearly 70% of skin cancer-related deaths. Despite notable advancements over the past decade, including immunotherapies  and targeted treatments, more than half of invasive melanoma patients ultimately succumb to the disease due to therapeutic resistance. To overcome this obstacle, strategies such as combining immunotherapies  with targeted drugs or adding epigenetic therapies have been investigated. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) therapy has emerged as a promising option for patients whose disease continues to progress  despite standard treatments. This article aims to introduce TIL therapy and review recent outcomes in melanoma prognosis in its application for melanoma management.Invasive cutaneous melanoma is  responsible for about 5% of skin tumors yet is liable for nearly 70% of skin cancer-related deaths.
