Core Tip	The case presented here shows a patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and long-lasting responses to different treatments including chemotherapies and targeted therapies; in particular, the patient had a long-lasting complete response to panitumumab. Additionally, he presented a high proportion of circulating natural killer (NK) cells displaying high cytotoxic activity against tumor cells in vitro. Interestingly, we previously reported that patients affected by mCRC with high NK-cell cytotoxicity showed a significantly higher response rate and a longer progression-free survival compared with patients with low NK-cell cytotoxicity. Study on the role of NK in patients with mCRC should be improved.
