Gene therapy manipulates the genetic code specific to every individual (all unique - no two person's DNA is exactly the same - twins have very, very similar, but not identical, DNA). Genetic disorders are almost always traced back to a fault at the chromosomal level, and sometime even deeper at the nucleotide level. By manipulating the DNA nucleotide(s) we can change the structure of the associated protein(s) of that particular disorder. By changing the protein, we can either make the disorder easier to manage or get rid of it completely.
Gene therapy on humans is still very, very much in the initial stages. Attempting to change an entire individual's genetic code (every cell, all over the body) can be very difficult and unpredicted side effects. So mass gene therapy for all those afflicted with certain ailments is still far down the road, but someday it could be very possible.

Radiation therapy may be given during any stage of cancer. Most of the more aggressive cancers require radiation therapy to help get rid of the cancer.
When a person with a genetic disease receives healthy DNA as treatment, it is call gene therapy. Gene therapy is still considered experimental but may have potential in preventing and treating diseases like cancer.
Congenital genetic defects, epigenetic defects, and even some forms of cancer triggered by oncogene activation can all be resolved by gene therapy.In addition, acquired disorders, such as herpes or HIV infection, can also be theoretically cured by gene therapy.
Treatment depends on the type of cancer and its stage. Four types of treatment are used: surgical removal, radiation therapy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
Supportive cancer therapy is the use of medicines to counteract unwanted effects of cancer treatment.
chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with radiation.
