Virotherapy

Virotherapy is a treatment that uses specially designed or naturally occurring viruses to target and destroy cancer cells. These viruses are modified to attack only cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cancer cells to break apart, boosting the immune system's ability to recognize and fight the tumor. Virotherapy offers a promising alternative or complement to traditional cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, potentially providing more targeted and fewer side effects. It harnesses the natural power of viruses in a controlled and therapeutic way.
