Cold virus can cure cancer?

If true this is amazing. I am not sure how they "infuse it." Just into the body, or close to the tumor(s)?

In every case, cancer cells had been destroyed - and in one case, all traces of the disease had gone, the study found.


Scientists said they were “very excited” about the findings, for patients with bladder cancer, which could also bring hope to those suffering from other major forms of the disease.
