Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have gained tremendous attention as in vivo delivery systems in gene therapy for inherited monogenetic diseases. First market approvals, excellent safety data, availability of large-scale production protocols, and the possibility to tailor the vector towards optimized and cell-type specific gene transfer offers to move from (ultra) rare to common diseases. Cancer, a major health burden for which novel therapeutic options are urgently needed, represents such a target. We here provide an up-to-date overview of the strategies which are currently developed for the use of AAV vectors in cancer gene therapy and discuss the perspectives for the future translation of these pre-clinical approaches into the clinic.

The prognosis of patients with some kinds of cancers whose patients are often found unresectable upon diagnosis is still dismal. In these fields, development of a new therapeutic modality is needed and gene therapy represents one promising strategy. So far, numerous cancer gene therapy clinical trials based on these principles have been carried out and have shown the safety of such modalities, but have fallen short of the initial expectations to cure cancers. In this review, we would like to make a problem-oriented discussion of current status of cancer gene therapy research by using mainly gastrointestinal cancers as an example. In order to overcome obstacles for full realization of cancer gene therapy, numerous researches have been conducted by many researchers. Various cancer-selective and non-selective genes, as well as lytic viruses themselves have been employed for gene therapy. In the context of gene delivery method, different kinds of viral and non-viral strategies have been utilized. In addition, surrogate assays, such as soluble markers and imaging, have been developed for safer and more informative clinical trials. Many experiments and clinical trials to date have figured out current obstacles for the realization of an effective cancer gene therapy modality. Tireless efforts to overcome such hurdles and continuous infusion of novel concepts into this field should lead to break through technologies and the cure of the patients.
