Gene therapy is the use of modern biological and molecular biology technology to modify mutated genes to achieve the purpose of treatment. The reason
why tumors appear is usually the result of gene mutation, and gene therapy is to change or replace abnormal genes in tumor cells, thereby regulating cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and other processes to achieve the effect of inhibiting tumor growth and proliferation. Secondly, gene therapy can also introduce some genes with specific killing tumor cells into tumor cells, causing cytotoxicity and immune response, and can also achieve the purpose of killing tumor cells.
