Radiation Gene Therapy
Radiation gene therapy is a form of therapy that uses a type of radiation, known as gamma or X-rays, to modify, or remove, a gene associated with cancer or another serious health condition. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which is used to target tumors and other areas of the body, radiation gene therapy targets a specific gene inside cells, allowing the body to modify disease-related behaviors at the cellular level. By targeting genetic abnormalities that can lead to cancer, or other diseases, radiation gene therapy can effectively treat serious health conditions while minimizing the severity of side effects. This makes it an attractive treatment option for individuals who have limited access to other forms of therapy. Additionally, radiation gene therapy has the potential to be more effective than traditional therapies, due to the ability to target more precisely at the genetic level.
