Cancer targeted therapies are treatments that target specific molecules or pathways involved in the growth, progression, and spread of cancer.

Treatments that use drugs or other substances to precisely identify and attack cancer cells, usually by targeting specific proteins or genes involved in cancer cell growth and survival.

Here are some common types as below:

  • Monoclonal Antibodies
  • Small Molecule Inhibitors
  • Hormone Therapies
  • Immunotherapies

Following are the procedure steps:

1. Diagnosis and Molecular Testing: Confirm the presence and type of cancer through biopsy and imaging. Conduct molecular and genetic testing to identify specific targets (e.g., HER2, EGFR mutations).

2. Treatment Planning: Develop a treatment plan based on the identified targets and patient’s overall health. Consideration of combination therapies with traditional chemotherapy, radiation, or other targeted therapies.

3. Drug Administration:

Oral Medications: Some targeted therapies are taken as pills or capsules.

Intravenous Infusion: Other therapies are given through IV infusions in a clinical setting.

4. Monitoring and Adjustments: Regular monitoring of the patient’s response to therapy through imaging and blood tests. Adjustments to the treatment regimen based on efficacy and side effects.

5. Managing Side Effects: Side effects may include skin rashes, diarrhea, liver problems, and high blood pressure. Supportive care and symptom management are critical to maintaining the patient’s quality of life.
