In a battle against cancer, could viruses be our allies? When Croatian virologist Dr. Beata Halassy’s breast cancer returned for the third time, she made a bold decision: to experiment on herself using millions of viruses grown in her own lab. Viruses love cancer cells, which helped her turn them into a weapon against her own tumor.
What happens when you infect cancer with a virus, and could virotherapy become a powerful new tool against cancer?

That type of treatment should go viral
Curing yourself of cancer is actually so impressive wow
truly manifesting "Fine I'll do it myself" vibe
bro curing urself of cancer is such a big flex omgg 😭 im so happy for her!! shes never gonna lose 2 truths and a lieeee
If my future kids one day can tell me "don't worry, it's just cancer", I'm gonna cry.
So basically viruses jump the cancer and once they win, they get jumped by the immune system. I love this
She literally had nothing to lose. So proud she found a cure for herself and everyone else. I hope cancer gets completely eradicated in my lifetime
I actually wrote a paper during college biology on chimeric antigen receptors for treating leukemia with a virus. Funny part is my major is engineering physics rather than biology lol
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and officially became cancer free at Christmas
She literally said "Fine, I'll do it myself". Massive respect
An experiment you’d never get past the ethics committee unless you just do it to yourself. Humanity owes these bold researchers, Beata and others
this needs to go viral i lost to many people from cancer
this, in my opinion, really capsulates the saying of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Cancer: What?! You thought you could perceive and defeat me?! Immune system: No.... but he can. Measles virus: *Roars in the background
There's something kinda comforting knowing that scientists still just get frustrated and experiment on themselves lol
Love how Kurzgesagt describe cells killing each other like space battles
12:11 this is why "right to try" laws are so important; letting the patient decide whether the risk is worth the possible reward. Beata was a perfect candidate for that since she was terminal without the treatment. If she died because of the treatment, well, she was going to die anyway and so she determined that the risk was worth the chance to live.
So, she basically turned the virus into a live detonator. That's just bloody impressive.
She took risks because she literally had nothing to lose. Glad it worked out for her. good news.
