Abstract
Gene therapy involves the insertion of a gene into an organism to treat a disease. Since its early development in the 1970s, gene therapy has expanded rapidly both in terms of the methods available and the number of candidate diseases for treatment. This report reviews gene therapy for cancer, including methodology, pre-clinical studies and experimental clinical trials.
