Described herein are methods for preventing, inhibiting, or treating cancer in a subject. Also provided herein are methods of altering expression of one or more gene products in a cell, such as a cancer cell. Such methods may comprise utilizing a modified nuclease system, such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated (Cas) 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) comprising a bidirectional HI promoter and gRNAs directed to oncogenes (rAAV-Onco-CRISPR) or tumor suppressor genes (rAAV-TSG) packaged in a compact adeno-associated virus (AAV) particle. Such methods may comprise co-administering or concurrently providing a recombinant adeno-associated virus-packaging adenovirus (Ad-rAAVpack) with the nuclease system.
