What are the Current Developments in Genetic Therapies for Cancer?
Research and clinical trials are continuously advancing the field of genetic therapies. Recent developments include:
1. CRISPR Trials: Several clinical trials are underway to test the efficacy of CRISPR-based therapies in treating various cancers. These trials aim to correct mutations or disrupt oncogenes. 2. Oncolytic Virus Therapy: Researchers are exploring the use of genetically modified viruses that selectively infect and kill cancer cells while stimulating an immune response against the tumor. 3. Personalized Medicine: Advances in genomic sequencing are enabling personalized cancer treatments where therapies are tailored based on the specific genetic mutations present in an individual's tumor.
