Thanks SPartner great article it talks about cancer...

Thanks SPartner great article it talks about cancer breakthroughs Oncolytic, Remote Surgery and AI use in surgery. What caught my eye was the Pod cast from City of Hope & DR Fong out tomorrow or day after our time? 11/03/25 can't wait.



At City of Hope, our approach to oncolytic virotherapy has been to let nature guide us. By recombining vaccine strains of viruses and subjecting them to high-throughput screening across diverse cancer cell lines, we have identified highly selective viral candidates that exhibit strong tumor-killing properties with minimal toxicity. One such candidate, currently in clinical trials, was engineered through this evolutionary process. The aim is not only direct oncolysis but also engagement of the immune system to mount a sustained anti-tumor response. If successful, this approach could be a paradigm shift in solid tumor management.
