Abstract:
Gastrointestinal carcinomas are among the malignancies with highest morbidity and mortality. The survival rates of these tumors remain pretty low in spite of advancements of traditional treatments. As the fourth treatment method besides surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, biotherapy has shown promising prospect in improving the prognosis of gastrointestinal carcinomas. In this manuscript, we summarized the current progress of biotherapy in gastrointestinal tumors including gene therapy, immune therapy and molecular targeted therapy.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
