What Role does Biotechnology Play in Cancer Treatment?
Biotechnology has opened new avenues for cancer treatment. Targeted therapies use drugs designed to specifically attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Monoclonal antibodies are engineered to target specific proteins on cancer cells. CAR-T cell therapy modifies a patient's own T-cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, RNA interference (RNAi) is being explored to silence genes that contribute to cancer progression.
