Oncolytic virotherapy constitutes a promising treatment option for many solid cancers, including peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), which still represents a terminal stage of many types of tumors.

Oncolytic virus delivery: from nano-pharmacodynamics to enhanced oncolytic effect [PDF]
: With the advancement of a growing number of oncolytic viruses (OVs) to clinical development, drug delivery is becoming an important barrier to overcome for optimal therapeutic benefits.

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 ...

Assessment and development of adenovirus type 11 for cancer therapy [PDF]
PhDThe efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy is influenced by the interactions between the tumour, virus and host immunity. The first generation of oncolytic adenoviruses, based on serotype 5 (Ad5), has achieved limited success in clinical trials.

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 ...

The Multifaceted Role of Macrophages in Oncolytic Virotherapy [PDF]
One of the cancer hallmarks is immune evasion mediated by the tumour microenvironment (TME). Oncolytic virotherapy is a form of immunotherapy based on the application of oncolytic viruses (OVs) that selectively replicate in and induce the death of tumour

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.

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 ...
