Cancer-Fighting Virus Shows Promise

A new cancer fighting virus, called NV1020, is a type of herpes simplex virus.It is designed to be safe for normal cells but will replicate in virus cells so it should have virtually no side effects.

A patient who had 10 liver masses and 4 in the lungs was given 4 weekly treatments and 2 treatments of chemotherapy, in six months the liver masses disappeared. The patient then lived for one year.For a full explanation of this go here, because I know I got something wrong.

By the way; 3 post in one day, I'm on a roll.
