Targeted Cancer Therapy in Bangalore | Dr Murali Subramanian
All of you must have heard about chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may sometimes destroy healthy cells as well. But targeted therapy attacks only cancer cells.
Targeted therapy targets proteins that are responsible for how cancer cells divide, spread, and grow. Advanced research carried out in this field is helping the medical world design more efficient treatments. Research states this therapy as the basis of precision medicine and has led to extensive study in DNA changes and proteins that control cancer cells.
There are two types of targeted therapy
Targeted therapy treat cancer in many ways.
Some of the Targeted therapy side effects include diarrhea, mouth sores, loss of hair, fatigue, and skin problems such as rashes or dry skin.
Targeted therapy is given either as Oral pill or Monoclonal antibodies which is given intravenously.
Targeted therapy does not require overnight hospitalization. They are generally given as day-care therapy or sometimes as all patient therapy.
How long the patient receives targeted therapy depends on the stage of cancer and how the patient’s body responds to the treatment. Targeted therapy can be given in cycles( This refers to a period of treatment followed by a period of rest ) or oral continuous therapy.
Doctors will continuously monitor the tumor and other factors with the help of scans and blood tests during the targeted therapy. This way the doctors can assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
