Tumor Cell Lysis via Viral Infection (Oncolysis)

Target
Oncolysis
Molecular classification
Virus, Infectious agent, Therapeutic strategy
01

Overview

Tumor cell lysis via viral infection refers to the process by which viruses, particularly oncolytic viruses (OVs), selectively infect and destroy cancer cells. This approach exploits the unique vulnerabilities of tumor cells to viral replication, leading to direct cell death (oncolysis) and stimulation of antitumor immune responses.
