Targeted Therapies

Targeted therapies are treatments that specifically target a certain gene or protein involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. These therapies are important in the advancement of cancer treatment as they offer a more precise approach, potentially with fewer side effects, than traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Targeted therapies have been successfully used in the treatment of several types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers. They are typically used in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment.
