  • Transluminal delivery of oncoltyic viruses for cancer therapy
    Patent number: 9675673
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and compositions are provided for treatment of cancer of a selected organ by intraluminal delivery of oncolytic agents through a blood vessel or duct leading to the cancer tissue.
