Gene therapy of cancer through restoration of tumor-suppressor functions?

Abstract excerpt

The tools and concepts of gene therapy are being applied to the development of effective new treatments for human cancer. Most human cancers are associated with multiple interacting and cooperating mutations in protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. In several model systems, some features of the tumor phenotype can be suppressed in vitro through the restoration of expression of tumor suppressor genes such as...
