Virus may be able to fight cancer

Although the virus is generally associated with sickness and even tragic, terminal health conditions, one virus may actually be incredibly helpful if the conclusion from a new study this week is correct.There is at least one virus that has cancer-fighting abilities which could be harnessed to treat some metastatic cancers, according to the study published in the November 7 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
In what sounds like a reference to apple juice, the virus -- named Seneca Valley Virus-001 -- was found to be effective in treating cancer cells from various cancers that included lung, pediatric and eye cancer in immune-deficient mice. Although this treatment for cancer is actually a virus, some experts still have questions. Still, it's a promising development.
