Really facinating. Using Virus to cure cancer.
Just like from I Am Legend movie.
```
The movie opens with a scene of Dr. Alice Krippin, who created the virus to cure cancer, discussing her work. Krippin states that 10,009 clinical trials were completed and all of the participants were successfully cured. However, it is later discovered that the virus is lethal.
A genetically modified measles virus kills most humans and turns some people into mutant creatures.

I hope it wont end up like `I Am Legend` movie. How long those research are being there , the movie script is a coincidence?

- folli 2y agoThat's not the point, oncolytic viruses have been researched since the 1950s. The fascinating thing is that this has been done in a self-experiment with viruses grown in her own lab.
