Oncolytic Virotherapy for Melanoma Brain Metastases, a Potential New Treatment Paradigm?
Introduction: Melanoma brain metastases remain a devastating disease process with poor prognosis. Recently, there has been a surge in studies demonstrating the efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy for brain tumor treatment.

Oncolytic virotherapy is an emerging treatment modality that uses replication-competent viruses to destroy cancers. Recent advances include preclinical proof of feasibility for a single-shot virotherapy cure, identification of drugs that accelerate intratumoral virus propagation, strategies to maximize the immunotherapeutic action of oncolytic viruses ...

Advances in oncolytic virotherapy
Recent years have seen rapid advances in the preclinical development and clinical evaluation of oncolytic (cancer-lysing) virus-based therapies, and these are emerging as treatment modality for some cancers. There are challenges to address, however, if we are to maximize the impact of these therapies in patients.

Oncolytic viruses encoding bispecific T cell engagers: a blueprint for emerging immunovirotherapies
Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) are an innovative class of immunotherapeutics that redirect T cells to tumor surface antigens. While efficacious against certain hematological malignancies, limited bioavailability and severe toxicities have so far ...

Oncolytic virotherapy is a type of nanomedicine with a dual antitumor mechanism. Viruses are engineered to selectively infect and lyse cancer cells directly, leading to the release of soluble antigens which induce systemic antitumor immunity ...

Cytokines in oncolytic virotherapy
Tumors represent a hostile environment for the effector cells of cancer immunosurveillance. Immunosuppressive receptors and soluble or membrane-bound ligands are abundantly exposed and released by malignant entities and their stromal accomplices. As a consequence, executioners of antitumor immunity inefficiently navigate across cancer tissues and fail ...

Asymptotic behavior of a three-dimensional haptotactic cross-diffusion system modeling oncolytic virotherapy [PDF]
This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem for a doubly haptotactic cross-diffusion system arising from the oncolytic virotherapy \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} u_t=\Delta u-\nabla \cdot(u\nabla v)+\mu u(1-u)-uz,\\ v_t=-(u+w)v,\\ w_t=\Delta w-\nabla \cdot(w\nabla v)-w+uz,\\ z_t=D_z\Delta z-z-uz+\beta w, \end{array} \right ...

The role of viral infectivity in oncolytic virotherapy outcomes: A mathematical study [PDF]
A model capturing the dynamics between virus and tumour cells in the context of oncolytic virotherapy is presented and analysed. The ability of the virus to be internalised by uninfected cells is described by an infectivity parameter, which is inferred from available experimental data.

Viruses are completely dependent on host cell machinery for their reproduction. As a result, factors that influence the state of cells, such as signaling pathways and gene expression, could determine the outcome of viral pathogenicity.

Oncolytic Virotherapy with Myxoma Virus [PDF]
Oncolytic viruses are one of the most promising novel therapeutics for malignant cancers. They selectively infect and kill cancer cells while sparing the normal counterparts, expose cancer- specific antigens and activate the host immune system against both viral and tumor determinants.
