Abstract
A therapy for a disease, e.g., gastric cancer, comprising endoscopic local administration of a vector having a gene for treatment or cells producing the vector to a lesion to transduce the gene into target cells. The direct in vivo transduction of a gene for treatment into the affected site is expected to produce therapeutic effects specific on the lesion. Since the gene is introduced also into lymph nodes which may have developed a metastatic lesion, both the primary lesion and the metastatic lesion in the surrounding lymph nodes can be treated simultaneously.
