A new therapy that uses a common virus to infect and destroy cancer cells has shown remarkable results in early human trials, British scientists say. One patient’s cancer completely disappeared, and the other patients’ tumors shrank. The drug modifies a weakened version of the cold sore virus and uses it to kill tumors. The cold sore virus is a type of herpes simplex. Larger and longer studies are needed next, but experts say the virus-injected therapy could eventually provide a lifeline for more advanced cancer patients.
