Killergenen

Non-PRO German to English Medical
Von Killergenen, die in Tumorzellen platziert werden, ueber den Austausch defekter Gene bis zu gezielt wirkenden Medikamenten, ein weites Feld, auf dem mit Hochdruck geforscht wird.

I know it's a killer gene. I need confirmation that from the text, it is the harmful gene in tumor cells which will be replaced, isn't it?

it's three methods

It is a very extensicve field, ranging from :
1.killer genes that are places in the tumor
2. through replacing defective genes
3. to drugs

So basically there are three methods in this field, and they do a lot a reasearch on this field.
Well, this is how I see it.

not exactly

There are 3 different methodologies listed here. In the first one a killer gene supposedly kills off the tumor cells. It's not replacing a harmful gene in the tumor cell ... just harming the tumor cell. A pretty inefficient tactic ...
