UK - Researchers combine herpes virus with cancer vaccine to treat brain cancer in children

High-grade gliomas are rare, malignant tumours which account for up to 12% of all childhood brain tumours Researchers in the US and UK are exploring a new type of cancer treatment as part of a £1.1m funded project by combining a herpes virus with a cancer vaccine to cure brain cancer in children. The project will combine a genetically modified cold sore virus with a cancer vaccine to destroy brain cancer cells in paediatric patients with high-grade gliomas.
