Natural killer (NK) function defects have been seen in many hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is associated with deficient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) expression on leukemia blasts which become targets for killing by NK and natural killer-like T (NKT) cells. However, NK and NKT cells are not effective in killing autologous leukemia blasts, maybe due to number or functional abnormalities. The aim of the work was to detect the number and percentage of NK and NKT cells in patients with AML and the impact of their percentage on the prognosis, response to treatment and survival. Bone marrow and peripheral blood samples were collected from 50 adult patients diagnosed as de novo AML who presented to the Hematology Unit in the Oncology Center Mansoura University (OCMU) at time of diagnosis. NK and NKT cells were detected by using immunophenotyping by expression of cell surface and cytoplasmic markers (anti-CD3 fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), anti-CD16/56 phycoerythrin (P in studied AML patients. We recommend correlating both number and function of NK and NKT cells in future studies to help provide a wide field of interest for possibility of demonstrating novel therapies using NK cells for curing AML. Ibrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown to be a superior choice in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and a simple, oral alternative to other chemoimmunotherapies. The standard dose is 420 mg daily; however, its irreversible binding mechanism allows adequate target blockade at much lower doses due to prolonged effect. Dose reductions or interruptions are often used in clinical p
