    It's pretty cool.  Keypoints:

    a.  they found virus replicating factory inside the tumor

    b.  they didn't find the virus replicating factory in normal tissue.

    c.  the virus evaded immune system 

    Because virus can be engineered to add a little gene to create a potent cancer toxin, so reovirus become a perfect delivery system.

    But c. is also scary.  and b. is very important for the safety of patient.
