Article Synopsis
  • The rat protoparvovirus H-1 (H-1PV) is known for its anticancer effects in human tumors, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), but its impact on T-cell malignancies has been less studied.
  • A pilot study showed that H-1PV successfully infected and induced cancer cell death in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) models, while not affecting healthy cells, and even increased immune cell infiltration in cancer spheroids.
  • The findings suggest that H-1PV could be a promising new treatment option for CTCL, highlighting its potential as a viroimmunotherapeutic candidate.
