Phages, viruses that typically infect bacteria, can be genetically modified to target and destroy cancer cells. This innovative method seeks to hijack immunity developed from vaccines, enabling the immune system to better recognize and kill tumor cells. By utilizing existing immune responses, this approach offers a new avenue for cancer treatment.
