Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy with adenoviral vectors is a promising new approach for the treatment of refractory advanced breast cancer. Strategies to restrict adenoviral-mediated therapeutic gene expression are important to avoid harming normal cells. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is overexpressed in several human cancers. FAS is highly expressed in infiltrating breast cancer tissue, and always associated with malignant phenotypes...
