Gene Therapy for Cancer - A New Dimension and Challenge for Insurers.
Due to an increasingly better understanding of the human genome, the number of potential molecular targets, and therefore, potential applications by gene therapies is also increasing.

Over the next 10 years, the number and volume of their applications will increase significantly.
