In spite of multiple treatment regimens consisting of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, with or without stem cell transplant, only a few long-term survivors of CNS AT\/RT have been reported.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, research is urgently needed to identify effective new agents and novel therapeutic approaches for these children. Recent studies have shown evidence for the use of oncolytic viruses (OVs) as a means to deliver effective cytotoxic therapy to tumours that have become resistant to conventional treatment approaches.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind this approach is to develop viruses that can replicate and cause the cancer cells to break down while leaving non-malignant cells unaffected. Vaccinia virus (VV) is a type of OV with several desirable attributes to be selected as a therapeutic agent, including a highly acceptable safety profile from its use as a vaccine in the smallpox eradication program and its ability to positively alter specific immune responses. Based on our encouraging preliminary data, we propose to investigate the potential of a modified (double deleted) vaccinia virus in preclinical studies for the treatment of AT\/RT.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have to have hope, and we should not accept anything less than a 100 per cent cure.
