Professor Dr. Kjell Oberg PhD of Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden, speaks about Oncolytic Virus Therapy for Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs). This talk was recorded on 2 November 2012 at Mt Elizabeth Novena Hospital in Singapore.

Much has been written about a potential new treatment for neuroendocrine tumors being developed by Dr Oberg's team at Uppsalla - a treatment which uses customised (ie- molecularly engineered) viruses to target NET cancer tumor cells. Remarkably, the story moved from cancer support forums to the mainstream media, under headlines such as: "A Virus That Kills Cancer: A Cure That's Waiting In The Cold" (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/95....

In the lively Q&A session which follows the talk, audience concerns about time-to-market, cost-of-development and potential toxicities are addressed. The programme was produced by Carcinoid & Neuroendocrine Tumor Society of Singapore (http://cnets.org).
