a: Gene therapy ~
b: a software patch
What:
"One of the major potential ways to really cure cancer is to send in genes that counteract the effect of the mutant genes that cause cancer. Gene therapy is like a software patch sent in to fix a bug. DNA is like a really complex piece of software. Once we can rewrite the genetic software to cancel out the effects of cancer-causing mutations we will be able to cure cancer. "
