Research Abstract

It is difficult to effectively treat patients with an extended tumor in the digestive tract in particular those who become refractory to standard chemotherapy. We thereby examined a possible anti-tumor effects produced by replication-competent adenoviruses that preferentially proliferate within the target tumors. We also modified the receptor-binding portion to facilitate the infectivity. The anti-tumor effects were also achieved with the adenovirally transduced cells.
