Conclusions

  • High NK cell infiltration is associated with improved OS in numerous cancers.
  • These findings suggest broad deployment of NK engagers and CAR-NK.
  • The positive correlation between NK cells and LAG3/TIGIT suggest that combination approaches may be warranted.
  • These findings support the use of NK cells in situations where other immune therapies have proven to be ineffective.
