Mesothelioma Gene Therapy

Gene Therapy aims to correct the issues caused by a defective gene by using special techniques to replace the defective copy of a gene with a copy that functions properly.
The process is performed by genetically altering a virus to carry a normal copy of the gene. The patient is 'infected' with the virus, which enters target cells and causes them to produce normal proteins. Concerning mesotheliomatreatment, this therapy uses genetic material to target cancer cells to make them susceptible to chemotherapy drugs
