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 ...

Myxoma virus (MYXV) is the prototypic member of the Leporipoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family of viruses. In nature, MYXV is highly restricted to leporids and causes a lethal disease called myxomatosis only in European rabbits (Oryctologous cuniculus)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Virotherapy
In contrast to most other cancer therapies, early research with oncolytic viruses (OV) tended to use direct or intratumoural routes of administration, initially motivated by concerns that the major limitation of intravenous delivery would be immune attack against the viruses, whether by complement, cytokine or most critically neutralising antibodies ...

Personalized virotherapy in cancer
After decades of intensive research, pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly lethal disease with a median survival time that does not exceed 6.5 months [1]. Since more than 80% of patients present with advanced metastatic disease, systemic chemotherapy remains the only treatment.

Oncolytic Virotherapy Trials—Letter [PDF]
We would like to thank Prof. Harrington for his insightful commentary ([1][1]) regarding our article by Kanerva and colleagues ([2][2]). During 2007–2011, the Advanced Therapy Access Program (ATAP) provided a unique opportunity for patients to access a technology they would not otherwise have ...

Oncolytic Viruses and the Immune System: The Dynamic Duo
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) constitute a new and promising immunotherapeutic approach toward cancer treatment. This therapy takes advantage of the natural propensity of most tumor cells to be infected by specific OVs.

Oncolytic virotherapy for ovarian cancer [PDF]
In the past two decades, more than 20 viruses with selective tropism for tumor cells have been developed as oncolytic viruses (OVs) for treatments of a variety of malignancies. Of these viruses, eleven have been tested in human ovarian cancer models in preclinical studies.
