What is Targeted Therapy?

What Targeted Therapy is

Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment that attacks specific proteins or genes responsible for cancer growth. Unlike chemotherapy, it spares most normal cells and focuses only on cancer-driving pathways.

How Targeted Therapy Works

Targeted therapy blocks specific signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide. This helps slow or stop cancer progression at the molecular level.

Benefits of Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy is designed to be more precise, often causing fewer side effects. It allows treatment to be tailored based on the cancer’s unique characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Targeted Therapy in cancer treatment?

Targeted therapy is an advanced cancer treatment that focuses on specific genes, proteins, or pathways that help cancer cells grow and survive. Unlike chemotherapy, it attacks cancer at a molecular level while minimizing damage to healthy cells.

How is Targeted Therapy different from chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy affects both cancerous and healthy rapidly dividing cells, whereas targeted therapy works on specific cancer-driving targets. This makes targeted therapy more precise and often associated with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

Which cancers can be treated with Targeted Therapy?

Targeted therapy is commonly used in cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, and certain blood cancers. Its use depends on the presence of specific molecular targets identified through diagnostic tests.

Is Targeted Therapy suitable for every cancer patient?

No, targeted therapy is recommended only when a patient’s cancer shows specific genetic or molecular markers. Tests such as biomarker analysis or genetic profiling help oncologists determine whether targeted therapy will be effective.

What are the common side effects of Targeted Therapy?

Side effects vary depending on the drug but are generally milder than chemotherapy. Common effects may include skin rashes, fatigue, diarrhea, high blood pressure, or liver-related changes. Most side effects are manageable under medical supervision.

Is Targeted Therapy given as tablets or injections?

Targeted therapy can be administered either as oral tablets or intravenous infusions, depending on the medication and cancer type. Your oncologist will decide the most appropriate form based on your treatment plan.

How long does Targeted Therapy treatment last?

The duration of targeted therapy varies from patient to patient. It may be given for a fixed period or continued as long as the cancer responds well and side effects remain manageable.

Is Targeted Therapy available at CION Network centres?

Yes, targeted therapy is available across CION Network centres. Each treatment plan is guided by experienced oncologists and tumour board discussions to ensure personalized, evidence-based cancer care.
