    I had read about this technique, however, so far I have not informed because we had available and that the drug ipilimumab for BRAF mutation, but in a week these options I had read about this technique, however, so far I have not informed because we had available and that the drug ipilimumab for BRAF mutation, but in a week these options are gone.

    I wanted to ask you for information about this technique, I know that few people have the characteristics to use it. Have any of you tried?

    What are the requirements?
    How does the treatment work?
    There is a withdrawal prior to cloning?
    cloning of cells for how long?

    They welcome any information and experiences you have.

      I'm sorry that your girlfriend is having such a difficult time.   This might be a language difference, if so please forgive.  Ipilimumab is not the drug for those that have te Braf mutation. The drug for those with the specific V600E is Zelboraf. 

      This might not be the exact procedure but one of our board members had a very successful time with T cells. I'm attaching a link to his blog.  http://wgalinat.blogspot.com/

      I hope your girlfriend finds a treatment that works for her.

      It sounds like you are sking about what is an investigational procedure commonly referred to as the TIL (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes). It is also called "Adoptive cell therapy (ACT)"   The foremmost research on TIL  in the USA is at our National Institute of Health (NIH) and conducted by Dr Steven A. Rosenberg

      Look at:  http://clinicalresearch.nih.gov/stories_breidenbach.html

      After reading this article you may have additional questions.  Post them and maybe someone can answer you. 

      Information on the process for growing the cells to be implanted into the patient is discussed in: http://www.ott.nih.gov/Technologies/abstractDetails.aspx?RefNo=2312
