Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy is a method of treating tumor cells by targeting specific targets. Therapeutic targets for synovial sarcoma include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), etc. Targeted therapy can specifically inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells and reduce side effects. 5. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a treatment method that attacks tumor cells by activating the patient's own immune system. Immunotherapy for synovial sarcoma includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, etc. Immunotherapy can improve the treatment effect and prolong the survival of patients.
