Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is a modern cancer treatment that works by identifying and attacking specific molecules or pathways involved in cancer growth, while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
What Is Targeted Therapy?
Targeted therapy uses medicines designed to block specific genes, proteins, or signals that allow cancer cells to grow and survive. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, this approach focuses on cancer-specific targets, leading to more precise treatment.
Types of Targeted Therapy
1. Small Molecule Inhibitors
Drugs that enter cancer cells and block signals needed for their growth and division.
2. Monoclonal Antibodies
Laboratory-produced antibodies that attach to specific targets on cancer cells.
3. Angiogenesis Inhibitors
Treatments that prevent the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors.
