Summary

This study tested whether adding ready-made natural killer (NK) cells from a donor to a standard stem cell transplant could safely reduce the chance of cancer coming back in people with high-risk myeloid cancers like acute myeloid leukemia. Twenty-four patients aged 18 to 70 took part. The approach aims to strengthen the immune system's attack on any remaining cancer cells after the transplant.
