Effects of Eucalyptus Oil on Ciliary Beat Frequency of Nasal Mucosa

PVS-RIPO is a genetically engineered polio virus which is infused directly into the patient`s tumor. Once inside the tumor, PVS-RIPO infects and kills tumor cells. PVS-RIPO consists of a genetically modified nonpathogenic version of the oral poliovirus Sabin type 1. Although this tumor cell killing alone may have tumor-fighting results, the likely key to therapy with PVS-RIPO is its ability to recruit the patients’ immune response against the cancer.ResultsThe researchers have already achieved remarkable results in trials on animals, and may be on the verge of a completely new treatment for people. Currently, Phase I clinical trials of PVS-RIPO against glioblastoma are ongoing. For now this treatment is showing promising results by extending the life expectancy of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.ConclusionEverything in the world of cancer treatment develops extremely fast these days. The key to better cancer treatment is a better understanding of the disease and the mechanisms that may work to fight it.
