Targeted Therapy

Targeted Therapy for Cancer - NCI

What is Targeted Therapy?

Targeted Therapy is a modern cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to precisely identify and attack cancer cells—while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which affects all fast-growing cells, targeted therapy focuses only on specific molecular targets associated with cancer.

This precision makes it one of the most effective options for certain cancers, especially when guided by molecular testing and genetic profiling.

How Does Targeted Therapy Work?

Targeted therapy works by interfering with specific molecules (targets) involved in cancer cell growth, progression, or survival. It can:

  • Block cancer cell signals that tell them to grow
  • Trigger cancer cell death
  • Cut off the blood supply to tumors (anti-angiogenesis)
  • Help the immune system identify and destroy cancer cells

Cancers Commonly Treated with Targeted Therapy

  • Breast Cancer (HER2-positive)
  • Lung Cancer (EGFR/ALK mutations)
  • Colorectal Cancer (KRAS/BRAF mutations)
  • Kidney Cancer
  • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
  • Liver Cancer (using drugs like Sorafenib)
  • Other solid tumors based on genetic markers

Benefits of Targeted Therapy

  • Precision-based approach with fewer side effects
  • Often taken orally as pills or capsules
  • Can be combined with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or surgery
  • Custom treatment plans based on cancer’s genetic profile
  • Improves survival and quality of life in many patients
