Columbia Scientists Use Bacteria as Trojan Horses to Deliver Cancer-Killing Viruses

Columbia University scientists develop bacteria-based Trojan horse system to deliver cancer-killing viruses into tumors while evading immune detection. Breakthrough cancer treatment approach.

This breakthrough represents a potential paradigm shift in cancer treatment by overcoming one of the major limitations of current therapies - the immune system's tendency to attack therapeutic viruses before they reach tumors. For cancer patients, this could mean more effective treatments with fewer side effects, as the bacteria-mediated delivery system specifically targets cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. The technology could lead to new treatment options for cancers that are currently difficult to treat, potentially improving survival rates and quality of life for millions affected by cancer worldwide.
