NK cells
Natural Killer (NK) cell-based cancer treatment is another form of immunotherapy that utilizes the body's own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.
NK cells are a type of white blood cell and an essential component of the innate immune system. They are capable of recognizing and attacking infected or abnormal cells, including cancer cells, without the need for prior sensitization.

Leonard, prostate cancer
In December 2022 I had an appointment at Pallas Clinic with oncologist-immunologist Inta Jaunalksne in a very critical condition. The doctor attentively listened, examined me and referred me for further examinations. The diagnosis revealed an advanced stage (I was in a state of shock), but Inta is simply brilliant - professionally, competently, tactfully, and confidently directed us (my wife and me) with faith and hope on the path of treatment. She explained all the treatment options in detail and emphasized the need for a lot of effort and time, urging us to responsibly follow the doctors' recommendations. The amount of professionalism, knowledge, patience, and humanity in this delicate lady is remarkable! You are a Doctor with a capital "D." The treatment continues, and now, you are our Guardian Angel! We approach our appointments with immense faith and hope in you. We thank you! And may you, our Bright Individual, have good health, peace, and human happiness! Your patient, Leonard.
