Cancers fought by engineered viruses...
Actually there were six patients in the initial Mayo Clinic trial; however, only Stacy Erholtz was "cured" (cancer-free for 9 months).
The process known as virotherapy is not a new concept. This shows a one-in-six success for first use in humans. Much more to do!
