Viral Therapy of Human Cancers

Book Overview

Featuring contributions from leading authorities, this pioneering work explores the potential for viruses to act as oncolytic and anti-tumor agents for the treatment of cancers. It details the cancer-combative properties exhibited by viruses in nature, genetically engineered viruses, and viral oncolysates as evidenced in basic and experimental studies and includes coverage of measles, influenza, and herpes simplex viruses; parvoviruses; poliovirus recombinants; Newcastle disease viruses and viral oncolysates; and vaccinia viral lysates. Comparing the viral therapy of cancer with alternative biological therapeutic approaches, the book lists more than fifty oncolytic adenovirus preparations.
