Research on the gene therapy and prevention of lung cancer

Abstract

In recent years, there have been significant advancements in molecular biology, gene therapy technology, and high-tech testing techniques. As our understanding of the pathogenesis of lung cancer continues to deepen, it has become evident that gene therapy plays a crucial role in its treatment. This article provides an overview of tumor cell development, various gene therapy techniques including suicide gene therapy, silent gene therapy, cancer suppressor genetic therapy, and antibody genetic therapy. Additionally, it analyzes the application value, treatment technology, and safety concerns associated with gene therapy. The discussion also covers the safety issues and current application status of viral and nonviral vectors in gene therapy, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different vector types. Furthermore, the article summarizes the future directions for designing and improving gene delivery vectors, along with their clinical application prospects. Ultimately, this article offers insights into the significance and treatment approaches for early prevention of lung cancer.
