Despite advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, the prognosis of several
solid tumor malignancies remains poor. Different factors associated with solid tumors …

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and heterogeneous environment
composed of cancer cells, tumor stroma, a mixture of tissue-resident and infiltrating immune …

To investigate whether IL‐6 signaling affects the susceptibility of castration‐resistant
prostate cancer (CRPC) cells to cytotoxic action of natural killer (NK) cells, CRPC cell lines …

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have not been effective for immunologically “cold” tumors,
such as prostate cancer, which contain scarce tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. We …

Results NKA-IFNγ levels were decreased in 261 GC patients with all stages of tumor
compared to those in 48 healthy donors (P< 0.001), and lower levels of NKA-IFNγ were …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system and have the ability to
kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells without prior sensitization. Malignant tumors and …

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men and a major cause
of cancer-related deaths. Whereas localized PCa can be cured by surgery and radiotherapy …

Materials and methods: The aim of the present pilot study was to study the association
between NK cell activity (NKA) and prostate cancer using a simple blood test. Subjects that …

Objective Natural killer (NK) cells play an essential role in the immune response against
cancer. However, immune escape mechanisms may cause inferior NK cell activity (NKA) in …

Background Studies have reported that general anesthesia (GA), especially volatile agents
were associated with higher cancer recurrence rate after cancer resection surgery. However …
