Efficacy and safety of a third-generation oncolytic herpes virus G47Δ in models of human esophageal carcinoma

Treatment options are limited for esophageal carcinoma (EC). G47Δ, a triple-mutated, conditionally replicating herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), exhibits enhanced killing of tumor cells with high safety features. Here, we studied the efficacy of G47Δ using preclinical models of human EC. In vitro...
