Abstract

Our recent research has unveiled the potential of locoregional immunotherapy. Cytokine-armored viral vectors, such as modified vaccinia virus Ankara vector encoding single-chain interleukin-12 (MVA.scIL-12), can target the omentum and elicit a robust tumor-specific immune response, all the while minimizing toxicity.
