The invention discloses a method for effectively culturing tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The method comprises the following steps: extracting mononuclear cells from the pectoral ascite or tumor tissue of a patient, washing, inoculating into a culture bottle coated with recombinant human fibrin and cluster-of-differentiation-3 antibody, culturing for 24 hours, adding interleukin II, then using a serum-free culture medium containing the interleukin II and the supernatant pectoral ascite to enlarge and subculture every two or three days, and adding apoptosis-regulated protein survivin and mucoprotein-1 on the twelveth or thirteenth day to activate the killing activity; and harvesting cells on the fourteenth day. By adopting the method, the culture time, which is only 14 days, is greatly shortened, so that the hospital stays of the patient can be greatly shortened and the hospital burden of the patient can be reduced. Meanwhile, the problems that the cell proliferation speed is low and the proliferation ratio is low can be solved, thus the number of the cultured cells can meet the clinical requirement. The cultured TILs has strong cell specificity so as to enhance the clinical curative effect.
