Are There Therapeutic Strategies Targeting Latent Viruses in Cancer?
Research is ongoing to develop therapies targeting latent viruses to prevent or treat virus-associated cancers. Strategies include:
Antiviral Drugs: These aim to suppress viral replication and reactivation. Immunotherapy: Enhancing the immune response against latent viruses can help eliminate infected cells. Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being explored to target and excise viral genomes integrated into host DNA.
