Viral Therapy of Cancer

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the current status of all the key viruses that are being developed as treatments for cancer. It is the first book to describe the use of viruses as oncolytic agents, killing cells directly, and it bridges the gap between bench research and clinical applications. Viral Therapy of Cancer reviews all aspects of viral applications in the treatment of cancer, including quality, control and regulatory issues in various countries. Edited by three experts in the field of cancer gene therapy with experience in both laboratory and clinical research, this book is an invaluable resource for both basic scientists and clinicians with an interest in virology and gene therapy.
