Possible cure for Skin Cancer
http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/01/07...cer/index.html
Interesting approach - and the fact that after killing off one melanoma it goes after others you might not even know you have. Now if they can do this for brain, lung, bone cancers that would be so very cool. D

Wow, cancer is susceptible to the common cold. Who would've guessed?
Great find, D, and I hope it leads to some great advances in treatment during our lifetimes.

so, is injecting the virus somehow more effective than simply catching a cold? they state that once it's in the system, it'll find other melanoma cancer cells. i wonder if it matters how the virus is originally introduced.

That's crazy!
So I'm wondering if this can possibly even lead to a cure for the common cold? |

Thank you for the link Mr. Anderson, this is great news. With cell level research there is a lot of promising research. The key is to hit the cell itself.

Who would have ever thought of injecting the cold virus into a cancerous cell. That is awesome.

Very good article, thanks for the post Mr. Anderson. I have had a family member with this cancer. Melanoma's talk with each other if you will so it sounds as if this process is used to transmit it to those other melanoma's. This could be the tip of the iceberg in fighting other forms of cancer. Very cool

 Even further though, the cold virus could be more basic than we think even, but just out of the realm of thought? |

My question is, how does the virus recognize the difference between melanoma cells and normal cells? After a certain point, cancer cells themselves are so different that killing them all off by identifying one difference becomes impossible.
