how is this disease treated with rna?
Chemotherapeutic agents and inhibit cell invasion and migration
RNA interference
chemotherapeutic agents, providing a combinatorial therapeutic approach with chemotherapy.
what is rna interference? It is a biological process. what does it do? RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. what does rna stand for? Ribonucleic acid how has it evolved? UNANSWERABLE what relation does it have to medicine? It was observed that introducing sense and antisense RNA to par-1 mRNA in "Caenorhabditis elegans" caused degradation of the par-1 message. what relation does it have to cancer? It can provide a more specific approach to inhibit tumor growth by targeting cancer-related genes.

RNA interference [SEP] Cancer
While traditional chemotherapy can effectively kill cancer cells, lack of specificity for discriminating normal cells and cancer cells in these treatments usually cause severe side effects. Numerous studies have demonstrated that RNAi can provide a more specific approach to inhibit tumor growth by targeting cancer-related genes (i.e., oncogene). It has also been proposed that RNAi can enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents, providing a combinatorial therapeutic approach with chemotherapy. Another potential RNAi-based treatment is to inhibit cell invasion and migration.
