Leading-edge Treatment From Doctors That Are Shaping the Field

Gene therapy is a new way to treat cancer that is giving hope to patients all over the world. Gene therapy for cancer works by changing the genes (DNA) inside your body’s cells. Here’s how it can help fight cancer:

• Introducing new genes that boost your immune system’s cancer-fighting abilities
• Replacing faulty genes with healthy ones
• Silencing genes that contribute to cancer growth

While gene therapy shares some similarities with immunotherapy, they are distinct approaches.

Gene therapy modifies genes in a direct way:

• It involves modifying, replacing, or introducing genes into cells to treat diseases.
• It can target various types of cells, not just immune cells.
• Doctors often use gene therapy to fix genetic problems people are born with. Now, more than 60% of all gene therapy studies around the world are looking at how well it works to treat cancer.

Immunotherapy helps your body fight cancer better:

• It enhances or modifies a person’s immune system to fight diseases, particularly cancer.
• It helps your body’s natural defenses spot cancer cells and fight them off better.
• It includes different kinds of treatments that help your body fight cancer, including CAR T-cell therapy.
