Recent progress in the battle between oncolytic viruses and tumours

Nat Rev Cancer. 2005 Dec;5(12):965-76. doi: 10.1038/nrc1750.

Abstract

In the past 5 years, the field of oncolytic virus research has matured significantly and is moving past the stage of being a laboratory novelty into a new era of preclinical and clinical trials. What have recent anticancer trials of oncolytic viruses taught us about this exciting new line of therapeutics?
