Targeted Therapy | Dr. Aditya Sarin
Precision Oncology · Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi

Targeted Therapy —
Precision Over Power.

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.

Traditional Chemotherapy

  • Attacks all rapidly dividing cells
  • High toxicity to healthy tissue
  • Severe systemic side effects
  • One-size-fits-all approach
VS

Targeted Therapy

  • Attacks only specific cancer molecules
  • Minimal damage to healthy cells
  • Fewer, more manageable side effects
  • Driven by genetic mutation profiling
Section 01

How Does Targeted Therapy Work?

Targeted therapy drugs work through four precise mechanisms to stop cancer in its tracks:

1

Blocking Signals

Prevents cancer cells from receiving signals that tell them to grow and divide.

2

Cutting Off Blood Supply

Stops formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to survive (anti-angiogenesis).

3

Triggering Cell Death

Encourages cancer cells to self-destruct through programmed cell death (apoptosis).

4

Preventing Spread

Stops cancer from metastasizing to other organs by disrupting invasion pathways.

Types of Targeted Therapy

Monoclonal Antibodies

Lab-made antibodies that bind to cancer cells, marking them for destruction or delivering drugs directly to the tumor with pinpoint accuracy.

Small Molecule Inhibitors

Drugs that penetrate cells and block proteins or enzymes that help cancer cells grow — targeting the machinery of cancer from within.

Hormone Therapy

Used for hormone-sensitive cancers like breast or prostate cancer — blocks hormones that fuel tumor growth to slow or stop disease progression.

How is Targeted Therapy Given?

Dr. Aditya Sarin will determine the best approach based on your cancer type, stage, and molecular profile.

Oral (Pills or Capsules)

Many targeted therapies come in pill form, allowing for easy, convenient home treatment without hospital visits.

Home-based · Convenient

Intravenous (IV Infusion)

Some targeted drugs are administered through a vein in a hospital or clinic setting, allowing for precise dosing and close monitoring.

Clinic-based · Monitored
Section 04

Who Can Benefit from Targeted Therapy?

Targeted therapy is often recommended for patients who meet specific clinical criteria:

Cancers with specific genetic mutations, identified through advanced molecular testing.
Patients who don't respond well to chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Breast, lung, colon, and leukemia cancers where targeted drugs have shown outstanding success.
Patients seeking personalized treatment with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
Section 05

What to Expect During Treatment?

Treatment Frequency

Given daily, weekly, or in cycles depending on the drug and cancer type — structured around your lifestyle.

Side Effects

Generally milder than chemotherapy — may include fatigue, skin changes, diarrhea, or liver function changes.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular tests and imaging scans track treatment effectiveness and allow plan adjustments in real time.
