One of the most promising strategies to treat cancer is attacking it with viruses. Virus can kill tumor cells specifically or act as carriers that deliver normal genes into cancer cells. A model for virus therapy of cancer is investigated and some of its predictions are in agreement with results obtained from experimental tumors. Furthermore, the model reveals an oscillatory (periodic or aperiodic) response of tumor cells and virus populations which may difficult clinical prognosis. These results suggest the need for new \textit{in vivo} and \textit{in vitro} experiments aiming to detect this oscillatory response.
