Viral therapy for pancreatic cancer: tackle the bad guys with poison.

abstract：:Previous studies had established that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is highly expressed in bladder tumor, facilitating progression and spreading of the cancerous cells. Here, we report that both the number and the cytotoxic function of natural killer (NK) cells are decreased in patients with superficial...
