What is Targeted Therapy?

Targeted therapy works by interrupting the molecular pathways that enable cancer cells to grow and divide. By focusing on specific cancer markers, it can stop the cancer from progressing, while leaving normal, healthy cells unharmed.

Symptoms That May Require Targeted Therapy

Symptoms that may indicate cancer and lead to the need for targeted therapy include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, unusual lumps or masses, persistent pain, or changes in bodily functions. Early consultation with an oncologist is key to exploring treatment options.

Types of Targeted Therapy

  • Monoclonal Antibodies: Target specific antigens on cancer cells to block growth.
  • Small-Molecule Drugs: Penetrate cancer cells to stop their growth at a molecular level.
  • Angiogenesis Inhibitors: Block blood vessel formation that supplies tumors.
  • Signal Transduction Inhibitors: Disrupt signals that allow cancer cells to proliferate.
  • Immunotherapy-Based Targeted Therapy: Combines immune system enhancement with targeted therapy for effective results.

Benefits of Targeted Therapy

  • Precision Treatment: Targets only cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
  • Fewer Side Effects: Less toxic compared to traditional therapies like chemotherapy.
  • Improved Outcomes: Increased effectiveness in treating specific types of cancer.
