How Are Targeted Therapies Advancing Cancer Treatment?
Targeted therapies focus on specific molecules and pathways that are crucial for cancer cell survival and proliferation. Recent research has identified new targets like KRAS, a common mutation in cancers such as lung and colorectal cancer. Drugs targeting KRAS mutations are currently in clinical trials and showing encouraging results. This approach offers a more personalized treatment, minimizing damage to normal cells and reducing side effects.
