Oncolytic Treatment and Cure of Neuroblastoma by a Novel Attenuated Poliovirus in a Novel Poliovirus-Susceptible Animal Model
15 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid tumors in children. Treatment is of limited utility for high-risk neuroblastoma and prognosis is poor. Resistance of neuroblastoma to conventional therapies has prompted us to search for a novel therapeutic approach based on genetically modified polioviruses. Poliovirus targets motor neurons leading to irreversible paralysis. Neurovirulence can be attenuated by point...
