Can Viruses Cure Cancer?
Can Viruses Cure Cancer?
A blood cancer patient was in full remission after an injection of the measles virus. Another patient, this time with a brain tumor, had his tumor completely killed off for a brief period after the flu virus was injected directly into his brain. And finally, A patient with bladder cancer was completely cured by an injection of the cold virus.
So, what's going on here? Why are scientists using viruses as treatments for cancer? But more importantly: how is this actually working?
