Targeted Therapy at Medwise Hospital
Targeted therapy is a cutting-edge cancer treatment that focuses on the specific genetic changes that drive the growth and spread of cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments, which can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, targeted therapy is designed to zero in on cancer cells while minimizing damage to normal tissues. At Medwise Hospital, we offer advanced targeted therapy options as part of our comprehensive cancer care, providing patients with personalized and effective treatment plans.
How Targeted Therapy Works
Targeted therapies work by interfering with specific molecules or pathways that are essential for cancer cell growth and survival. Some common mechanisms of action include:
- Blocking Growth Signals: Some targeted therapies block signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide.
- Cutting Off Blood Supply: Certain drugs can inhibit the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow, effectively starving the cancer cells.
- Promoting Cell Death: Targeted therapies can induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells that have avoided the body’s natural processes.
- Immune System Activation: Some targeted therapies help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
