Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oncolytic viruses are promising cancer biotherapies but often show limited durability as single agents due to tumor-intrinsic resistance mechanisms. Because therapeutic efficacy is shaped by dynamic virus-tumor-stromal interactions, pharmacologic strategies that reprogram this interface may enhance virotherapy responses. Here, we investigate whether targeting tumor stress and survival pathways with...
