Abstract
A new approach to tumor therapy combines two problematic cancer-fighting tools: tumor-targeted T cells and gene therapy. The T cells deliver a gene therapy vector to tumor cells, ensuring their destruction (pages 1073–1081).
Gene therapy to treat cancer will never reach its full potential without the availability of targeted gene-transfer vectors. Targeting must include specificity at the level of tissue, cells and DNA.
