An oncologist explains the findings.

Scientists discover hidden virus in gut bacteria that may be linked to colorectal cancer development, offering new insights into cancer research.

A previously unknown virus may be the key to assessing the risk of colorectal cancer and improving diagnosis.

A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...
