Abstract
Introduction: Increased natural killer cells activity (NKCA) is linked to the reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Several prior studies investigated the association of NKCA and the incidence of CRC in high-risk subjects. The aim of our study was to investigate NKCA sensitivity in...This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
