What are the Benefits of Gene Therapy and Immunotherapy?
Both gene therapy and immunotherapy offer several advantages over traditional treatment methods:
1. Targeted Treatment: These therapies can be highly specific, targeting only the infected cells or pathogens without affecting healthy cells. 2. Reduced Resistance: Pathogens are less likely to develop resistance to these treatments compared to conventional antibiotics or antivirals. 3. Long-Lasting Effects: Gene therapy can potentially offer a permanent solution by correcting genetic defects, while immunotherapy can provide long-lasting immunity.
