What is Targeted Therapy?
At Kathmandu Cancer Center (KCC), we provide precision medicine in the form of targeted therapy — a modern cancer treatment that focuses on specific genes, proteins, or cancer cell environments that drive tumor growth.
Unlike traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapy focuses on specific molecular changes (mutations or proteins) that drive cancer growth. These medicines are selected based on biomarker testing and are commonly used in lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and certain blood cancers.
Targeted therapy is like a "smart bomb" for cancer cells—attacking them while sparing healthy cells.
