Combination Therapy of Oncolytic Virus with Conventional Radiotherapy

Nowadays, overcoming malignant tumors is still a major research topic in the medical community. The current methods of treating tumors are mainly surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Radiosensitivity is the key to determine the success or failure of tumor radiotherapy. Finding ways to improve tumor radiosensitivity has become a research hotspot in the field of tumor therapy. Oncolytic virus therapy is a new tumor gene therapy approach that has emerged in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering methods to transform the virus so that the virus can selectively replicate in the tumor and produce oncolytic effects. There is no cross-tolerance between oncolytic virus therapy and traditional radiotherapy. The combined application of the two methods can achieve superposition or synergy.
