Gene therapy is an experimental treatment. It involves putting genetic material (DNA or RNA) into a person's cells to help fight disease.
Gene therapy is being studied in a number of different cancers. At present it is only available within clinical trials.
There is more information on our website on gene therapy which you can find by following the links on the right hand side of this page.
