A modern cancer treatment that precisely attacks specific molecules or genetic mutations in cancer cells — blocking their growth and spread while minimizing damage to normal cells.
Targeted therapy drugs work through four precise mechanisms to stop cancer in its tracks:
Prevents cancer cells from receiving signals that tell them to grow and divide.
Stops formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to survive (anti-angiogenesis).
Encourages cancer cells to self-destruct through programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Stops cancer from metastasizing to other organs by disrupting invasion pathways.
Lab-made antibodies that bind to cancer cells, marking them for destruction or delivering drugs directly to the tumor with pinpoint accuracy.
Drugs that penetrate cells and block proteins or enzymes that help cancer cells grow — targeting the machinery of cancer from within.
Used for hormone-sensitive cancers like breast or prostate cancer — blocks hormones that fuel tumor growth to slow or stop disease progression.
Dr. Aditya Sarin will determine the best approach based on your cancer type, stage, and molecular profile.
Many targeted therapies come in pill form, allowing for easy, convenient home treatment without hospital visits.
Home-based · ConvenientSome targeted drugs are administered through a vein in a hospital or clinic setting, allowing for precise dosing and close monitoring.
Clinic-based · MonitoredTargeted therapy is often recommended for patients who meet specific clinical criteria:
Given daily, weekly, or in cycles depending on the drug and cancer type — structured around your lifestyle.
Generally milder than chemotherapy — may include fatigue, skin changes, diarrhea, or liver function changes.
Regular tests and imaging scans track treatment effectiveness and allow plan adjustments in real time.
