Oncolytic virotherapy, which involves the use of replication-competent viruses that selectively replicate in tumor cells, represents a novel alternative approach for cancer treatment and has been under intense development over the last two decades. This work focuses on three different strategies for optimizing oncolytic viral therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, namely combination therapy, viral engineering, and mechanistic investigations to better understand the basis for tumor-specific virus replication. These three approaches resulted in an enhancement of oncolytic viral therapy and provided a potential molecular marker for characterizing a tumor with regard to its amenability to viral therapy.
