Cases of late-stage cancer are more difficult to treat because the tumor cells have often begun metastasizing throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p>This is where NK cells come in. They fight tumors as well as metastasized cancer cells through production of <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/06\/cytokines-fighting-cancer-at-the-cellular-level\/\"><u>proteins known as cytokines<\/u><\/a>. In addition, NK cells are so-called because of their capacity to quickly attack foreign bodies without the activation of antibodies.<\/p>\n<p>Another valuable benefit of NK cells is their function in mediating anti-tumor immunity. Studies have shown that mice with reduced levels of NK cells have lowered resistance to metastases and RMA tumor outgrowth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Effect of Immunotherapy on NK Cell Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An analysis of NK cell counts was done on 129 patients who had gone through the <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/21\/what-do-our-patients-say-about-our-treatment-program\/\"><u>Issels\u00ae treatment program<\/u><\/a>.
