Cold sore virus shows promise killing off cancer cells – with one patient seeing disease vanish Tags:United Kingdom 6 comments A modified version of the cold-sore virus *herpes simplex* is being used to treat cancer. Early stage trials show very positive results. If we could get something good out of herpes that would be sick. I’ve seen enough of these type of stories not to get excited, but this is great news There’s no magic bullet (and never will be), but over my lifetime lots of cancers have gone from being death sentences to treatable illnesses Great news. Hopefully we won’t all die in a nuclear fireball before we get the chance to be cured of cancer. This is much better than discovering that cancer kills cold sores Always thought shagging around in my youth was a good idea Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
