Targeted Therapy

      What is Targeted Therapy?

      Targeted therapy is an advanced form of cancer treatment that attacks specific molecules or pathways essential for cancer cell growth and survival. Unlike conventional chemotherapy, which affects both healthy and cancerous cells, targeted therapy selectively focuses on cancer cells, minimizing damage to normal tissues and reducing side effects.

      How Targeted Therapy Works?

      Targeted therapy drugs work by identifying and interfering with specific molecular targets involved in tumor growth, progression, and spread. These therapies may:

      • Block growth signals that fuel cancer cell division
      • Prevent formation of blood vessels that supply tumors (anti-angiogenesis)
      • Trigger cancer cell death while sparing healthy cells
      • Enhance the immune system’s ability to recognize and attack cancer

      Advantages of Targeted Therapy

      • Precision Treatment: Focuses on molecular changes specific to the patient’s cancer
      • Reduced Side Effects: Minimizes impact on healthy tissues
      • Combination Potential: Can be combined with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy for improved outcomes
      • Effective for Resistant Cancers: Useful for tumors that do not respond to standard therapies

      Who Can Benefit from Targeted Therapy?

      Targeted therapy is effective for a variety of cancers, including:

      • Breast cancer
      • Lung cancer
      • Colorectal cancer
      • Leukemia and lymphoma
      • Other cancers with specific molecular markers

      Treatment Process

      • Consultation and Molecular Testing: Oncologists assess tumor type and perform tests to identify specific molecular targets.
      • Treatment Planning: Personalized therapy is designed based on test results and patient profile.
      • Administration: Drugs may be delivered orally or intravenously, depending on the regimen.
      • Monitoring: Patients are regularly monitored for response, side effects, and overall well-being.
      • Follow-up: Ongoing evaluation ensures optimal treatment efficacy and adjustment of therapy if needed.

      Frequently asked Questions

      Geriatricians have dedicated advanced training in the aging process. They excel at managing how multiple health issues interact with one another and focus heavily on preserving mobility, cognitive function, and quality of life rather than just treating isolated symptoms.

      Our geriatric team manages a wide range of age related health concerns. This includes memory disorders such as dementia, mobility and balance issues, chronic joint pain, osteoporosis, fall prevention, and the comprehensive management of complex overlapping diseases.

      While there is no strict age requirement, adults aged 65 and older generally benefit the most from this specialized care. It is especially recommended for seniors who are managing multiple chronic conditions, experiencing memory issues, or taking several daily medications.
