Targeted therapy for whom

Targeted therapy is appropriate for cancer patients with specific genetic mutations.

Targeted therapy is designed to target specific molecular targets on cancer cells, and these drugs will specifically bind to carcinogenic sites in the body, causing specific death of tumor cells without affecting normal tissue cells surrounding the tumor. Therefore, targeted therapy may provide more effective and personalized treatment options for patients with specific genetic mutations. However, not all cancer patients are eligible for targeted therapy, and methods such as genetic testing are needed to determine eligibility.
