I have just been reading about this seemingly common and harmless virus AAV-2.
From what I understand they have found it to be helpful in killing squamous cell cancer cells.
Do any of you guys have any further information on it?

Hi Marica; Would you have a link or a web address for the information on AAV-2? I've read about the use of a common cold type virus in SCC Tx, but am always interested in adding new things to my list for the oncologist to review.
Thanks,
Fran B.

This is VERY preliminary work.

Here is a link to a news article that briefly discusses the study. Wouldn't it be great though . . . go in for a series of injections of bugs that just gobble the bad stuff up!
