摘要: In humans colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. New treatment options are urgently needed to supplement existing therapies. Replication-competent oncolytic viruses (RCOVs) for the cancerous tumors in vivo is a relatively new therapeutic modality with great but largely unrealized potential against CRC. In context oncolytic virus safety, oncoselectivity an important criterion. It at conceptual intersection viral replication strategy and tumor cell biology that RCOVs acquire their oncoselectivity, thus their safety. Every aspect molecular which distinguishes it from normal, non-neoplastic cells target exploitation. the first section this review we will provide explanation some the successful widely used strategies improving in wild-type make them more suitable as RCOVs. second we will describe characteristics CRC can be exploited to CRC. Throughout examples of successfully-engineered embody approach or strategy under discussion are noted. By showing what has been done, hope highlight what is possible remains done generate oncoselective use against in humans.
