Measles virus used to put woman's cancer into remission - see CNN report

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/15/health...cer-remission/

In part "...researchers gave her and five other multiple myeloma patients a dose of a highly concentrated, lab-engineered measles virus similar to the measles vaccine. In fact, the dose Erholtz received contained enough of the virus to vaccinate approximately 10 million people."
