Finally scientist have come out with a breakthrough to kill cancer cells. The idea is to inject cancer patients with live genetically engineered herpes virus (NV1020). Talk about fighting evil with evil. This virus is designed to kill cancer cells and leave normal tissue unharmed. Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 & HSV-2) cause infections in humans and sometimes stays dormant and it is a Sexually transmitted disease (STD). Hope none of these traits shows up on the injected cancer patient. Animal tests with NV1020 was effective at killing colorectal and liver cancer cells. The prognosis looks promising and surely will bring relief to lot of people. Monday, October 15, 2007
