Oncolytic Virus – an Effective Targeting Therapy for Cancer Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The oncolytic viruses that were discovered in the late of 19th century have been recently considered as an effective anti-cancer therapy due to its selective replication activity in cancer cells. Currently, at least nine types of virus have been studied in clinical trials for treating a variety of cancers including T-VEC and Reolysin. In this review, we focus on historical researches of oncolytic viruses. We also describe the molecular mechanism of oncolytic viruses in cancer cells. Positive clinical trial results strongly suggest oncolytic viruses as an effective targeting virotherapy for treating cancer.

Background Oncolytic viruses are a promising approach for cancer therapy. Recent clinical trials proved the safety and antitumor activity of several oncolytic viruses in solid tumors. However, very little is known about the potential of the oncolytic viruses to target hematologic malignancies. Careful analysis of the effects of the oncolytic viruses in patients with hematologic malignancies wil...
