I don't think there is genetic treatment for Cancer, but you can search Genetic causes of Cancer. Some cancer's are genetic and there are blood test that can be done for certain cancer's to see if you have a mutated gene. I had colon cancer and did genetic testing and I don't have a mutated gene, so I was just a "sporadic" case. If I tested positive the only way to prevent cancers such has uterus cancer would be to remove the organ. Good luck with your project.

Hi Claire. Christine gave you some good information. "Genetic treatment" for cancer is not a viable concept. Every cancer cell has hundreds of mutated genes. And, every cancer cell is genetically different from every other cancer cell. Therefore, for effective "genetic treatment" of a tumor you would have to be able to: 1) identify all of the relevant mutations in each of the billions of different cancer cells in a tumor, and 2) "fix" all of those mutations in EACH of BILLIONS of genetically DIFFERENT cancer cells in the same tumor! I hope this is helpful for you. Best wishes and good luck.
