The idea of using viruses as weapons against cancer isn’t new. It actually dates back to the late 1800s, when physicians treating cancer patients started reporting miraculous remissions in patients who came down with the flu or some other virus. By the 1950s, scientists understood that some viruses have a unique ability to invade just about any cell in the body and kill it. But turning that ability into cancer treatments was challenging: Either the virus-based drugs were too weak to wage effective attacks against tumors, or they were so powerful they prompted dangerous immune responses in patients. (That actually happened to one of the patients in the Duke trial, as 60 Minutes reported.)
