Cancer, a disease which is often lethal, has had a drastic impact on society. Despite the tireless work being done towards producing a cure for cancer, the main methods being used to treat cancer remain the same. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgical resection, and immunotherapy can be a great help to cancer patients; however, they also come with their own side effects which can make the fight against cancer even more difficult. In order to avoid these side effects, scientists have developed a tool which allows them to efficiently target cancer cells themselves in order to stop them before the cancer progresses to a level in which medical professionals are no longer able to help. This tool is called CRISPR, and it holds the key to the future of cancer treatment due to the efficiency and convenience which it offers.
