Summary:

Cancer gene therapy is rapidly moving from the laboratory to the clinic. A continuous flow of laboratory results are leading to novel cancer therapeutic programs. This text describes both the laboratory and preclinical studies and the clinical opportunities which are currently being developed. The text is a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art cancer gene therapy, describing multiple modalities of treatment and multiple methods used to transfer new and-cancer genes into cancer cells and co protect normal cells from cancer treatments.
