CRISPR IN ORAL ONCOLOGY: BRIDGING PRECISION MEDICINE AND ETHICAL CHALLENGES

CRISPR technology has revolutionized gene editing, with implications across various fields, including oncology. In oral cancer research, CRISPR offers unprecedented precision in targeting and modifying cancer-associated genes. However, despite its promise, significant challenges prevent its widespread clinical use. This Perspective article will focus on the critical challenges of CRISPR implementation in oral oncology, such as the technical limitations, ethical concerns, and the need for innovative delivery mechanisms. We propose that addressing these issues could pave the way for more effective and personalized cancer treatments.
