In the last decade, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to recognize and attack tumors, therapies like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cells have extended lives and offered new hope, particularly for patients with advanced-stage cancers. Yet despite its breakthroughs, immunotherapy doesn’t work for everyone. Some cancers remain resistant. Others adapt. In this space between success and shortfall, researchers are asking: what’s next? The answer may lie in a fascinating new frontier—oncolytic virus therapy, an approach that merges virology and oncology in an effort to kill tumors from the inside out. How Oncolytic Viruses Work…
