Virologist's Self-Experimentation: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment?
Molecular biologist Beata Halassy successfully treated her aggressive breast cancer using a self-experiment with oncolytic viruses, a method not previously tested in this form. Her case has gained international attention, highlighting the potential of personalized cancer therapies. However, it raises ethical concerns about self-experimentation and the need for systematic clinical trials. Halassy's experience underscores the importance of early intervention and personalized approaches in cancer treatment, though experts caution against drawing broad conclusions from individual cases.
