Cancer gene therapy

Cancer gene therapy is a innovative treatment that involves modifying genes in cancer cells or healthy cells to fight cancer more effectively. This can be done by replacing missing or damaged genes, adding new genes to help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells, or modifying genes to make cancer cells more vulnerable to treatments. The goal is to target the cancer more precisely, reduce side effects, and improve patient outcomes. While still being researched, gene therapy holds promise for more personalized and effective cancer treatments in the future.
