Oncolytic Viruses: Using Viruses to Kill Cancer Cells - Metastatic Breast Cancer Trial Talk

Research News

Oncolytic viruses are being studied in clinical trials as a new way of treating cancer. This type of treatment uses viruses to kill cancer cells, though the viruses will not make you sick or affect healthy cells. Instead, oncolytic viruses are injected into a tumor and cause tumor cells to burst, which activates the immune system. Oncolytic viruses are being studied in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors to further activate the immune system and kill cancer cells.
