Gene Therapy Cancer
Gene Therapy can cause cancer. Like a mice was struck by leukaemia and had become the first animals to die from cancer direct results of bad gene therapy treatment.
The Risks of gene Therapy
A gene can't easily be inserted directly into our cells. Rather using a vector to deliver the gen to a cell. The most common gene therapy of vectors are called viruses, because it recognize certain cells and carries genetic materials into cell genes. Researchers remove the original disease causing genes from the viruses, replacing them with the gene needed to stop disease.

The effects of Gene Therapy Cancer are:

(this data shows multiple genetics diseases and its high qualities of its dangerous level/ harmful level)
The experiment of tumor tissue was limited to just around the injection site, in treaty moral injection of the adenoviral vector. In the experiment, tumor cells showed depressed expression of the coxsackie adenovirus receptor gene in comparison to normal cells . The basic elements if gene therapy consist of therapeutic genes, vectors and strategies. Genes interest can be inserted into various target cells, like immune efector cells, tumor cells and hematopitics stem cell.

(this diagram is about images towards the effects on what will happen if we get cancer from the treatment of Gene Therapy)
The effects of Gene Therapy Cancer are:
- Unwanted immune system reaction. This may cause inflammation and, in severe cases, organ failure.
- Targeting the wrong cells. Because viruses can affect more than one type of cells. If this happens, healthy cells may be damaged, causing other illness or diseases, including cancer.
- Infection caused by the virus. It's possible that once introduced into the body, the viruses may recover their original ability to cause disease.
- Possibility of causing a tumor. If the new genes get inserted in the wrong spot in your DNA, there is a chance that the insertion might lead to tumor formation. This has occurred occasionally in some clinical trials.
