NCIt definition : A population of activated lymphocytes that express CD16 (Fc-gamma receptor III), CD56
(neural cell adhesion molecule 1) and CD69 (early activation antigen CD69), which
is mainly comprised of natural killer cells with an activated phenotype.;
NCIt note : A low baseline level of CD16 CD56 CD69 lymphocytes in patients with non-small-cell

first-line chemotherapy treatment of NSCLC could increase progression-free survival.;
