Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy uses drugs designed to specifically identify and attack cancer cells based on particular genetic mutations or proteins, often resulting in fewer effects on healthy cells compared to traditional chemotherapy.

What is Targeted Therapy?

Targeted therapies work by interfering with specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Determining whether targeted therapy is appropriate typically requires molecular or genetic testing of the tumor to identify specific markers that the therapy is designed to act upon.

Targeted therapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the cancer type and individual characteristics. Your oncology team will discuss whether targeted therapy is a suitable option based on your specific diagnosis and test results.
