Overview

Targeted therapy for lung cancer is a type of treatment that uses drugs that specifically target certain molecules involved in cancer growth, rather than targeting all rapidly dividing cells. This approach is particularly useful in lung cancer, as it allows for a more precise way of treating the cancer, with fewer side effects for the patient. Targeted therapy can be used in combination with other treatments to increase their effectiveness, or as a stand-alone treatment when other treatments are not as effective. Recent advances in targeted therapy for lung cancer have made it possible to treat the cancer with fewer unwanted side effects, while also improving overall survival rates.
