Cancer treatment today offers a wide variety of treatments, depending on the type, stage, and severity of the disease. The mainstays of treatment include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. While these treatments can increase survival rates, they may not be suitable for everyone. Some patients may experience a low response to treatment, and others may recover from cancer only to discover a recurrence. At W9 Wellness, we offer NK Cell cancer treatment alongside our traditional treatment options.
Because cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among Thais, and advances in medical technology continue to develop, the search for ways to treat cancer patients is ongoing. Some patients do not respond well to standard treatments, as some suffer side effects from the treatment. Therefore, alternative cancer treatment is another option for cancer patients that can increase survival rates, reduce the spread of cancer cells, and reduce cancer recurrence.
What are some alternative cancer treatments?
Alternative cancer treatments are becoming more well known and talked about, such as: NK Cell Therapy, Mistletoe Therapy or Curcumin IV All of these methods can improve the condition of cancer patients and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, including monitoring the condition to prevent cancer recurrence.

“There are many integrative cancer therapies available that can be of significant benefit to cancer patients. While they may not be the primary treatment option because they may not kill cancer cells as quickly or as aggressively as chemotherapy, this does not mean they are not the best treatment for a given patient's cancer in the medium or long term.”

Treating cancer with NK cells or natural killer cells
Cancer treatment with NK Cells or Natural Killer Cell Therapy is a type of immunotherapy that uses the patient's own NK Cells (Natural Killer cells) to automatically eliminate cancer cells without waiting for stimulation from the immune system (Antibody). They are responsible for eliminating foreign substances such as germs, viruses, and cancer cells. They are cells that have the ability to destroy cancer cells 100 times more than other types of white blood cells.
Normally, the human body has approximately 2,000 - 5,000 million NK Cells. Whenever there is a foreign object invading the body, NK Cells will know immediately because NK Cells are like a front line army that performs the duty of protecting and is ready to confront immediately within 24 hours. If anyone is not sure how many NK Cells their body has, they can come. Check NK Cell levels okay
Mechanism of NK Cell Operation
NK cells act as sentinels throughout the body, detecting foreign substances or abnormal cells such as cancer cells. Whenever NK cells detect these substances, they release a substance that kills these cells, known as apoptosis, preventing them from becoming cancerous later in life. This includes germs and viruses that could cause disease in the future.
Advantages of NK Cell Cancer Treatment
- It is a specific treatment that directly targets cancer cells without affecting normal cells.
- There are few side effects.
- It can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
- Helps increase white blood cells, reduces the chance of infection, and reduces the side effects of chemotherapy.
- Helps increase the chance of survival
- Helps slow down the spread of disease
- Helps relieve pain
- Help improve the quality of life of patients.
Patients suitable for NK cell cancer treatment
- Cancer patients who do not respond to other treatments
- Cancer patients who are physically weak and cannot tolerate the side effects of other treatments
- Cancer patients who require adjuvant treatment or treatment in conjunction with primary treatment
- Patients with early or advanced cancer
NK cell therapy is an effective and safe treatment for many types of cancer. It can improve survival, slow the progression of the disease, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
However, cancer treatment with NK cells should be conducted in consultation with a specialist physician, working with the patient to develop an appropriate treatment plan to improve the patient's quality of life.
