Virotherapy

A new study has found that combining radiotherapy with a cancer-targeting virus was more effective at combatting a hard-to-treat, deadly form of brain tumor than using either therapy alone. The finding may lead to more effective cancer treatments.

Researchers have used a cutting-edge imaging technique to image a high-potential cancer-killing virus in unprecedented detail, allowing them to now ponder how it might be genetically modified to better do the job. ​
