Gene therapy is a technique that adds new copies of a gene that is broken, or by replacing a defective or missing gene to treat, prevent or cure a disease or medical disorder. At Alfa Cytology, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive, end-to-end services for gene therapy development, specifically targeting prostate cancer.
Gene therapy is a medical approach that utilizes the genetic material DNA or RNA to treat or prevent disease. Prostate cancer has several attributes including anatomical accessibility, specific tumor markers, and predictability of metastatic spread that allow gene therapy to be considered through a variety of strategies.

Gene therapy shows significant advantages in prostate cancer therapy.
Strong Targeting | Gene therapy can target specific gene mutations or abnormal expression of prostate cancer, like HRR's BRCA1/2, enhancing outcomes with PARP inhibitors. |
Personalized Therapy | Through genetic testing, patient-specific genetic variants can be identified and individualized therapy plans can be provided for each patient, thus improving the precision and effectiveness of therapy. |
Innovative Therapy | Gene therapy utilizes the latest biotechnology, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and other gene editing techniques, to treat prostate cancer, which are not available in traditional therapy methods. |
Long-term Effects | Gene therapy has the potential to alter the fundamental characteristics of cancer cells, potentially achieving long-term control or even a cure for prostate cancer. |
Minor Side Effects | Gene therapy's precision in targeting prostate cancer's unique cellular genes or biomarkers minimizes effects on healthy cells, reducing widespread cytotoxicity. |
Currently, DNA-based and RNA-based gene therapies are showing great potential in the therapy of prostate cancer. The core principles of DNA-based gene therapy include suicide gene therapy, immunomodulation, and regulation of protein expression. Similarly, RNA-based gene therapy strategies, such as RNA interference (RNAi), have shown great promise in therapeutic research for prostate cancer.
Gene therapy is gradually expanding from other cancer therapeutics to prostate cancer therapies. Meanwhile, with the advancement of technology and the success of trials, the safety and efficacy of gene therapy have been increasingly recognized. In addition, regulatory policies for gene therapy are being improved to promote the healthy development of this field.
