Data detailed in 'Therapeutic potential of replication-selective oncolytic adenoviruses on cells from familial and sporadic desmoid tumors' have been presented. According to recent research from London, the United Kingdom, "Constitutive activation of the Wnt signaling pathway is a hallmark of many cancers and has been associated with familial and sporadic desmoid tumors. The aim of the present study is to assess the therapeutic potential of oncolytic adenoviruses selectively replicating in cells in which the Wnt signaling pathway is active on primary cells from desmoid tumors." "Primary cells extracted from familial (n=3) or sporadic (n=3) desmoid tumors were cultured...
