A Natural Killer cell is shown attacking and destroying a cancer cell (reference: Advances in Cancer Detection: “My Discovery of the Natural Killer Cell,” by Jerry T. Thornthwaite, Ph.D.).
Natural Killer (NK) cells are the body’s innate defense against cancer cells and virus-infected cells. Their primary function is to destroy cancer cells and virally infected cells, but they can also attack bacteria, parasites, and fungi. This is part of their routine role, as they represent one of the body’s first lines of defense against cancer and viral infections.
NK cells circulate throughout the body, seeking cells that display unusual molecules on their surface—signals that a cell may be a tumor cell or infected with a virus. When such a cell is detected, NK cells destroy it.
This process occurs thousands of times each day in a healthy person’s body, as tumor cells are routinely identified and eliminated by NK cells.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy and radiation, while effective against tumors, often produce a severe depletion of the immune system and, in many cases, significant destruction of NK cells.
Damaging the body’s natural defense against cancer cells is not desirable, as it may contribute to cancer progression, metastasis, and recurrence.
