How it works
Selective Replication and Tumor Cell Lysis
The virus preferentially infects cancer cells, taking advantage of their defective antiviral pathways.
It replicates inside them until the cell bursts, releasing new viral particles that continue the process.
Immune Activation
The breakdown of tumor cells exposes tumor antigens to the immune system.
This stimulates immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells elsewhere in the body.
Tumor Microenvironment Modulation
Engineered oncolytic viruses can carry therapeutic genes that enhance immune activity or block local immunosuppression.
This turns “cold” tumors—those that hide from the immune system—into “hot” tumors that are easier to attack.
Combination Synergy
OVT is highly compatible with other treatments such as checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapy, or stem-cell–based immunotherapy.
In combination, it helps overcome resistance and improves patient response rates.

Key Benefits
Precision and Safety
Designed to target cancer cells selectively, minimizing harm to normal tissue.
Systemic Immune Response
A local injection can lead to a body-wide immune reaction, even against distant metastases.
Immune Education
The therapy trains the immune system to remember and recognize cancer, helping to prevent recurrence.
Flexible Genetic Design
Viruses can be engineered to deliver immune-stimulating or tumor-suppressing molecules directly to the tumor site.
Integration with Other Therapies
Works synergistically with immunotherapy, radiation, or conventional oncology treatments.
Why It Matters
- Oncolytic Virus Therapy is redefining how we fight cancer.
- It combines virology, immunology, and genetic engineering to turn the body’s own immune system into a precision weapon against tumors.
- Beyond destroying cancer cells, it awakens lasting immune protection—opening the door to a future where treatments are smarter, safer, and more effective.
