From Ottawa comes the news of a cancer killing virus.  This time it appears, 
that gene engineering, as was necessary with the reo virus, which is now going 
into clinical trials, is not needed for this one.

Cancer Killing Virus Research
(DNS) 06/28/00- Scientists in Ottawa have made a potential
breakthrough in cancer research. They have found, that a benign
virus, which causes nothing more than mild flu-like symptoms in
people, is deadly to cancer cells, The researchers found, that
the virus destroyed a wide variety of cancer cells including
melanoma, lung, colon and breast cancers.  The University of
Ottawa has applied for a patent on related therapy and hopes to
begin clinical trials within eighteen months.
