Polio Virus

[Debbie L.]

This is available to watch anytime on the website: 60 Minutes Poliovirus Trial .

There are quite a few articles discussing whether such an enthusiastic story on national TV was premature and/or misleading. This one has some of the context, and some history of both this specific treatment and immunotherapy in general: Brain Cancer: Did '60 Minutes' Report Raise False Hope?

And another fairly balanced discussion: What '60 Minutes' Got Right And Wrong On Duke's Polio Virus Trial Against Glioblastoma

As usual, I find the discussions almost more interesting than the original information!
