Targeted therapy represents the future of personalized cancer care. Unlike chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, targeted therapy works on a molecular level by focusing on the specific genes, proteins, or pathways that drive cancer growth.
By targeting only the abnormal changes in cancer cells, this therapy minimizes harm to normal cells and often results in fewer side effects. Targeted therapy can be given in the form of oral tablets, capsules, or intravenous injections.
Before recommending targeted therapy, we may conduct genetic and molecular testing to identify the best-suited drugs for the patient’s cancer profile.
While side effects are generally milder compared to chemotherapy, patients may experience skin changes, diarrhea, or fatigue, which are carefully managed with supportive care.
