Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression, as opposed to traditional cancer treatments, which damage both cancerous and healthy cells. It works by disrupting the biological processes that enable cancer cells to grow, divide, and spread. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. Targeted therapy is often used to treat metastatic and difficult-to-treat cancers, with the goal of prolonging life, ensuring a better quality of life, and minimizing side effects.
