Using CRISPR-Cas9 for Cancer Treatment: Overcoming Delivery Challenges and Unintended Effects for Medical Use

Updated

Abstract

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing holds significant potential as a therapeutic tool for cancer and other diseases.

  • Recent advances in CRISPR-Cas9 technology may enhance its application in cancer treatment.
  • Current barriers to clinical translation include challenges with delivering the technology effectively within the body.
  • Off-target effects, where unintended parts of the genome are altered, are a concern that could impact safety.
  • Potential strategies to mitigate these issues are being explored to improve the feasibility of CRISPR-Cas9 in clinical settings.
