Curative one-shot systemic virotherapy in murine myeloma.

What does this mean for myeloma patients today?

Can anyone report on the news from the Mayo Clinic regarding oncolytic virotherapy using the measles virus, and the dramatic results achieved for a female patient?

This story was reported, for example, in the Washington Post..

Thanks for your post, gcwn56.

The Beacon posted information here in the forum about the Mayo study immediately after the news was published. You can find the posting, along with several pages of valuable discussion and additional links, here:

https://myelomabeacon.org/forum/measles-virus-multiple-myeloma-t3287.html

We often post important breaking myeloma news in the forum, and we let the Beacon's followers on Facebook and Twitter know about those postings.

Checking regularly in the forum, however, is probably the best way to keep tabs on the latest developments, while also learning from the experiences and advice of other patients and caregivers (and the Beacon's myeloma specialist Medical Advisors).

Thank you for the reply regarding virotherapy and the link for the Beacon report. When I searched the Forum for this topic, I found only the old post dated June 2012. And, I do not use any social media sites.
