"Beata Halassy, a 50-year-old self-experimenting female virologist with locally recurrent muscle-invasive breast cancer, used research-grade virus preparations to treat her cancer."
"Halassy's process was described as 'isolated and unconventional work,' emphasizing that self-medicating with oncolytic viruses should not be the first approach to dealing with diagnosed cancer."
"The paper's authors clarified that while Halassy's case is intriguing, it mustn't inspire readers to independently use untested treatments for serious conditions like cancer."
"Oncolytic virotherapy utilizes mild viruses to target tumors, aiming to weaken them for easier surgical removal or to provoke an immune response from the patient."
