Low-level laser therapy synergistically improves the effects of natural killer cell mediatedimmunotherapy in cancer

Different kinds of treatments have been developed to fight cancers. The types of treatment sthat patients receive will be dependent on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Somepatients are treated with only one way, but most patients receive combination therapies, suchas surgery followed by chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy. low-levellaser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, is a low-powermonochromatic and coherent light that has been used successfully for healing injuries andcombat malignancies. Immune cell therapy is a promising approach that is applied to fightcancers using cellular immune system. In this regard, natural killer (NK) cells belonging toinnate immunity are widely used to kill cancer cells. In this article, we hypothesize to explainhow PBM therapy can enforce the effect of NK cell-mediated immunotherapy on cancers.
