        For the record, you do not need a 2 cm tumor to enroll in the TIL trial at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. TILs have been grown from specimen as small as a punch biopsy. There is no guarantee that T cells will grow (60-70% success rate), and it may take up to 5 weeks, but it is still an option if your tumor is surgically resectable.
