DR. SUZANNE HUMPHRIES: Measles has been used for years in fighting cancer?

Here is the article, "Measles Virus as an Oncolytic Immunotherapy," Christine E. Engeland and Guy Ungerechts, Cancers (Basel), February 1, 2021

Incredible.  

Measles virus is currently under investigation as an innovative cancer treatment. The virus selectively replicates in and kills cancer cells. Furthermore, it can be genetically engineered to increase tumor specificity and therapeutic efficacy. Importantly, treatment with measles virus activates antitumor immune responses. A number of clinical trials using measles virus for cancer treatment have been completed or are ongoing. Future studies will further harness the possibilities of virus engineering and potential of combination immunotherapies to improve clinical outcome.
