Gene therapy for prostate cancer.
Over the last decade gene therapy has emerged as probably the sexiest research topic in biology. Whilst few people would attach the same adjective to clinical studies on prostate cancer, the rise in mortality from this very common tumour coupled to the deficiencies of current therapies have kindled research on this malignancy. This article covers the overlap between these disciplines and describes laboratory and clinical experiments that investigate genetic manipulation for the management of prostate cancer.
