Tumor Cell Lysis via Viral Replication (Oncolysis)

Target: Oncolysis
Molecular classification: Other

Overview

Tumor cell lysis via viral replication leverages engineered or naturally selective viruses that exploit vulnerabilities specific to malignant tissues. By directly lysing tumor cells through robust intracellular replication—and simultaneously priming systemic anti-tumor immunity—this strategy represents a promising avenue for targeted oncologic therapy with expanding applications across diverse malignancies.
