Mechanism of action

This is a gene therapy product (Gendicine) that delivers functional p53 gene into tumor cells to restore apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in p53-deficient cancers. When combined with surgery, it aims to reduce recurrence by targeting residual disease and preventing tumor progression. The p53 protein acts as a 'guardian of the genome,' inducing cell death in malignant cells that would otherwise evade standard therapies.
