A Virus That Kills Cancer
SciWorks Radio is a production of 88.5 WFDD and SciWorks, the Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County, located in Winston-Salem.
The holy grail of health care, arguably, is a cure for cancer. For decades we've relied on treatments like radiation therapy and chemotherapy, which don't always work and can have some horrible side-effects.
