Levaditi C. and, Nicolau S. S., Virus et tumeurs. Ann Inst Pasteur 1923, 37, 1-3. cited in Sinkovics JC & Horwath J, Viruses and cancer. Medical Hypotheses 1995, 44, 359-368. (An innovative concept developed by Levaditi and Nicolau was viral oncolysis. Tumours are more susceptible to viruses than normal cells and tumours act as “a sponge attracting viral replication”. This hypothesis was rediscovered by Sinkovics and Horwath in 1995 and is now in the centre of interest for many biotechnology companies who enlarge cancer virotherapy models).
