Oncolytic virotherapy in upper gastrointestinal tract cancers
Upper gastrointestinal tract malignancies are among the most challenging cancers with regard to response to treatment and prognosis. Cancers of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, and biliary tree have dismal 5-year survival, and very modest improvements in this rate have been made in recent times. Oncolytic viruses are being developed to address these malignancies, with a focus on high sa...

متن کاملOncolytic virotherapy.
Oncolytic virotherapy is an emerging technology that uses engineered viruses to treat malignancies. Viruses can be designed with biological specificity to infect cancerous cells preferentially, and to replicate in these cells exclusively. Malignant cells may be killed directly by overwhelming viral infection and lysis, which releases additional viral particles to infect neighboring cells and di...
متن کاملOncolytic Virotherapy in Cancer
Oncolytic viruses are natural or genetically modified viral species that selectively infect and kill neoplastic cells. Oncolytic viruses as highly targeted agents that would mediate cancer cell-autonomous anticancer effects. The therapeutic potential of oncolytic virotherapy is not a simple consequence of the cytopathic effect, but strongly relies on the induction of an endogenous immune respon...
متن کاملUpper gastrointestinal tract cancers as double-cancers in elderly patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Against a background of a rapidly aging society, the number of patients with oral cancers in Japan is increasing yearly. The number of double-cancers with oral cancer as the first malignancy is also reportedly on the rise. Esophageal and gastric cancers are the most common second malignancies. At our institution, our policy is to proactively perform upper gastrointestinal (GI) fiberscopy (GIF) ...
