Targeted Therapy

In Delhi

Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that focuses on specific changes inside cancer cells that help them grow and survive. Instead of affecting all fast-growing cells like chemotherapy, treatment works in a more focused way. It targets specific proteins responsible for cancer growth. As a result, it tends to affect normal cells less and is often well-tolerated. Targeted therapy is recommended after thorough diagnostic testing to identify the exact cause and nature of the cancer. It has emerged as a highly effective and important approach in modern cancer treatment, offering more precise and personalized care.

Conditions We Treat
Targeted therapy is used for cancers like breast cancer, lung cancer, and some blood cancers. It is especially useful when cancer has specific gene changes that can be targeted. In some cases, doctors even combine it with chemotherapy or immunotherapy to improve results. It might be used if some cancer has come back or is not responding to other treatments.

Your Treatment Journey
The journey begins with detailed testing, including molecular or genetic tests, to determine whether targeted therapies are suitable for you. Once confirmed, the treatment may be administered as tablets or via IV infusion, depending on the type. The schedule varies, but it is more flexible than other treatments. Regular follow-ups and tests are done to monitor how the cancer responds. Doctors will also adjust the treatment plan based on your progress and how well your body is handling it.

Managing Side Effects
Side effects are usually milder as compared to chemotherapy, but they can still occur. You might experience skin changes or mild digestive issues. In certain cases, blood pressure or liver function might need to be monitored. Doctors can provide you guidance and medication to manage the effects.
