Abstract

Pancreatic cancer, a highly malignant disease, is characterized by rapid progression and early metastasis. Although the integrative treatment of pancreatic cancer has made great progress, the prognosis of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer remains extremely poor. In recent years, with the advancements in tumor immunology, immunotherapy has become a promising remedy for pancreatic cancer. Natural killer (NK) cells are the key lymphocytes in the innate immune system. NK cell function does not require antigen pre‑sensitization and is not major histocompatibility complex restricted. By targeting tumors or virus‑infected cells, the cells play a key role in immune surveillance. Although several questions about NK cells in pancreatic cancer still need to be further studied, there are extensive theories supporting the clinical application prospects of NK cell immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer. Since very few studies have evaluated the role of NK cells in pancreatic cancer, this review provides a comprehensive update of the role of NK cells in pancreatic cancer immunotherapy.
