Abstract
SINCE the classical papers of Levaditi et al.1,2 it has been shown that most viruses reproduce well in malignant tumours although some of them exert rather an oncolytic action3. An attempt to use viruses for treatment of malignant tumour in human beings has so far proved unsuccessful3. However, in this problem the major factors are still largely obscure.
