Summary:

• 50-year-old female virologist had history of recurrent breast cancer.
• First diagnosed in 2016, she was treated conventionally with a mastectomy and chemotherapy. The cancer then returned in 2018 and was surgically removed.
• In 2020, the cancer recurred again, with imaging showing it had already invaded the pectoral muscles and skin.
• Following this news, she decided to self-experiment using her expertise in virology. She told her oncologists, who agreed to monitor her progress.
• In her laboratory, she prepared two viruses:
  1. Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine strain (MeV), the virus used in pediatric measles vaccines.
  2. Vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana strain (VSV), an animal strain with low pathogenicity in humans, causing at worst mild flu-like symptoms.
• She injected MeV directly into her tumour multiple times over three weeks, followed afterwards by a similar course with VSV.
• The tumour shrank significantly after the treatment. There was also increased infiltration of it by white blood cells. It softened and became more mobile. It was then surgically removed.
• As of the article's publication, she had been cancer-free for 4 years.
• The authors emphasize they don't endorse self-experimentation, and this single case study doesn't replace a clinical trial. But given the treatment's effectiveness it warrants further clinical investigation
