## Background: Natural killer (nk) cells have a spontaneous cytotoxic capacity-against tumor cells. these cells represent a small proportion of human colon carcinoma-infiltrating lymphocytes. their prognostic significance in these tumors has yet to be determined. ## Methods: One hundred and fifty

## BACKGROUND. Natural cytotoxicity mediated by natural killer (NK) cells is believed to play an important role in host anticancer defense mechanisms. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic significance of NK cell activity after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. #
## Abstract ## Background Multiple marker accumulation impacts tumor progression and biologic phenotypes affect clinical outcome of patients with head and neck cancer. Hence, this study investigated a battery of molecular markers that may help to reflect biologic aggressiveness and predict prognos
