Joined: May 2003 Posts: 928 | 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?

Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 108 | 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.

Wouldn't it be great though . . . go in for a series of injections of bugs that just gobble the bad stuff up! http://reuters.myway.com/article/20...RIDST_0_NEWS-HEALTH-CANCER-VIRUS-DC.html
