RESUMO
Cancer is a serious public health problem in the world and the prevention and control of cancer has become one of the health strategies of governments around the world. According to the data of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), about 8 million people die of cancer every year in the world. With the continuous progress of medical technology, there are many methods to treat cancer at present. However, many treatment methods have achieved different therapeutic effects, some of them have obvious toxic and side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to study simpler and more effective new therapies for alleviating pain and prolonging lifetime of patients. In this view, we focus on the application progress of CRISPR system in some major cancers and its potential in cancer treatments (AU)
