Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells with robust antitumor functions rendering them promising therapeutic tools against malignancies. Despite constituting a minor fraction of the immune cells infiltrating tumors in the brain, insights into their role in CNS pathophysiology are emerging. The challenges posed by a profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment as well as by tumor resistance mechanisms necessitate exploring avenues to enhance the therapeutic potential of NK cells in both primary and metastatic brain malignancies. In this review, we summarize the role of NK cells in the pathogenesis of tumors in the brain and discuss the avenues investigated to harness their anticancer effects against primary and metastatic CNS tumors, including sources of therapeutic NK cells, combinations with other treatments, and novel engineering approaches for augmenting their cytotoxicity. We also highlight relevant preclinical evidence and clinical trials of NK cell–based therapies.
