Benefits of Bacterial Therapy in Prostate Cancer Treatment
Research highlights the potential of bacterial therapy in delivering drugs or genes for tumor-targeted treatments, addressing limitations like drug resistance. A study involving a tumor-targeting strain of bacteria, CRC2631, showed promising results in prostate cancer positive mouse models. The bacteria's toxicity, targeting ability, and genetic stability were evaluated, with comparisons made against VNP2009, a benchmark strain in bacterial cancer therapy development. The study demonstrated that CRC2631 was less toxic, effectively targeted tumors, and exhibited genetic stability, suggesting its safety and efficacy in targeting primary tumors and reducing metastases.
