Abstract
Compositions and methods for treating infection-associated cancer include the use of a nuclease that cuts nucleic acid of an oncovirus in combination with an adjunct chemotherapeutic that treats cancerous cells. For example, a Cas9 endonuclease and a guide RNA that matches a target in a viral genome without having any corresponding match in the human genome can be delivered along with an anti-apoptotic inhibitor.
