Natural Killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) responsible for destroying viruses and tumor cells. The level of activity is genetically controlled.

NK activity is known to decrease with advancing stages of cancer, and increase with your clinical response to treatment. This analysis, then, may give the Cancer Treatment Centers of America experts an index of tumor progression/regression.
