Cancer
Gene Therapy Cancer gene therapy is a form of genetic engineering that targets cancer cells in order to treat and eradicate them. It utilizes genetic material, be it genes, proteins, or other molecules, to interfere with the development and progression of cancer. Cancer gene therapy works by either blocking cancer-causing genes or introducing genes that can fight the cancer cells. This approach is used to reduce tumor size and reduce the spread of cancer cells, as well as reduce the risk of recurrence. Cancer gene therapy has the potential to improve patient outcomes and prognoses for those afflicted with cancer. It has been used in clinical trials for some and has been approved for certain types of cancer, such as melanoma and certain types of leukemias. Cancer gene therapy is an exciting new field of research and holds great promise for those afflicted with cancer and other diseases.
