Anti-cancer immunotherapy is a novel potential treatment that activates
the immune cells in our body to kill the cancer cells.
NK cells are the only immune cells that detect abnormal cells such as cancer cells and remove them immediately without any specific antigens. In accordance to this principle, NK cell based anti-cancer immunotherapy is known to be much safer than other immunotherapies.
