Cancer can be treated through gene therapy. In the last couple of the years, gene therapy has been successfully carried out against leukemia and many other serious types of cancer.

Doctors hold the view that we can transform blood cells into soldiers combating against this chronic disease. It is said that 120 patients with different types of bone marrow and blood cancers have been experimented and all of them had a positive result. Yes, these patients had been dealt by six different research groups and the people had the cancer before the experience are completely normal now.

Dr. Janis Abkowitz said that “You can take a cell of the patient and engineer it as a defender against these serious diseases”. On the other hand, another study has been recently conducted and all the 4 adults who had bone marrow transplantation, have been successfully treated. Yes, they are now cancer free patients.

Not only this, Emily Whitehead the 8 years old girl had last stage of cancer and all the doctors pronounced her early death, but after the gene therapy there had been no prevalence of cancer in her body. Exactly, she was the first person to be experimented for gene therapy.

Basically, this treatment is done through filtering patients' blood by removing millions of WTCs known as T-cells and changing them in the laboratory for instilling a gene having capability of targeting cancer. After this, this is returned in the body of the patient through infusion in three days. Ultimately, this one gene is transformed into army which consistently fight against the cancer.

It is necessary to mention that labs charge $25,000 for diagnosing each patient and most of the cases are those which have usually least chances to survive. The Penn doctors said that this treatment emerges as a glamor of hope for the patients and it must be diagnosed in affordable rates.
