Targeted Drug Therapies
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses cancer drugs. However, it is different from traditional chemotherapy, which also uses drugs to kill cancer cells. In Targeted therapy, the cancer’s specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival are targeted. Targeted therapy is generally used with chemotherapy and other interventions.
Targeted Drug Therapy is being increasingly used for treatment of:
- Breast Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Lung Cancer
- Melanoma and so on..
