Oncolytic virotherapy with vaccine viruses employs replicative vectors, which quite selectively infect tumor cells leading to massive virus replication followed by subsequent profound tumor cell death (oncolysis). Measles vaccine virus (MeV) has already shown great oncolytic activity against different...
