They're only in the Phase III trials now, but so far, it looks hopeful.
Abbie has more information and links.
A modified Herpes Simplex Virus-1. Regular ol HSV-1 that we are basically all infected with, causes cold-sores in some people? Yeah, scientists gutted out some bits of it (keep it from going into neurons, make it need something cancers make lots of), added immune-stimulating bits (a chemical messenger that REALLY pisses off macrophages).
This modified virus was injected directly into melanoma lesions every two weeks for up to 48 weeks (24 doses). Now, remember these patients were metastatic-- yes, they had 'skin cancer', but that cancer had spread, to the liver/lungs/anywhere.
Even though the virus was injected into the 'skin cancer', the liver lesions, the lung lesions-- they were all killed too. Scientists aspirated where the lesions used to be, and all there was was necrotic tissue (dead cancer). |

Hope for metastatic skin cancer?
