Dynamic changes of phenotype and function of natural killer cells in peripheral blood before and after thermal ablation of hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma and their correlation with tumor recurrence.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Thermal therapy induces an immune response in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the dynamic characteristics of the natural killer (NK) cell immune response post-thermal ablation remain unclear. We conducted a prospective longitudinal cohort study to observe the dynamic changes of phenotype and function of NK cells in peripheral blood before and after thermal ablation of hepatitis...
