Could coronavirus be targeted to cancer cells and help killing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question!: That’s a very creative question and yes, viruses are being used to target certain types of cancer cells for treatment. It’s complicated, and coronaviruses probably aren’t the best type of virus to use for this.... but let’s see what the future holds! First step: vaccine for SARS CoV2!
