| Research Abstract |
Therapies for unresectable advanced and recurrent gastric cancer have been unsatisfactory. New therapies using oncolytic viruses have been expected. These viruses have mutations on their genes and only replicate in tumor cells, but these mutated genes sometimes spoil their oncolytic ability. To enhance their oncolysis, various attempts have been done. In this study, we selected appropriate gene for individual gastric cancer and construct virus expressing that gene to enhance oncolysis. Immunohistochemical study revealed gene expression of individual gastric cancer and therapeutic experiments were undergone and enhanced therapeutic effects were observed.
