Bacterial toxins for the treatment of cancer
The use of live bacteria for the treatment of cancer has a long history, but problems with toxicity have limited its value in medicine. The field has recently been revitalized with the introduction of genetically modified bacteria, as well as the use of isolated toxins and proteins from the bacteria. These bacterial components are being studied individually and in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of cancer.
