Using Gene Expression in Targeted Therapy

Using Gene Expression in Targeted Therapy

Scientists are using knowledge of the regulation of gene expression in individual cancers to develop new ways to treat target diseased cells and prevent the disease from occurring. Target therapies exploit the overexpression of a specific protein or gene mutation to develop new medications against the specific cancer.
