Therapeutic Promises in Targeted Chemotherapy and DNA Vaccination

Cancer, unregulated cell division and cell growth, is a fundamental aberration in cellular behaviors. Environmental factors including chemicals, infections, radiation, stress, lack of physical activity, environmental pollutants, etc. contribute to cause 90-95% of cancers and 5-10% of cancers originate from genetic disorders (hereditary) . Stated differently, environmental or genetic events transform normal cells into cancer cells. Conventional methods for the treatment of cancer include chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy and immunotherapy.
