There are several types of DMTs currently used in cancer treatment:
Targeted Therapy: These drugs target specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies. Immunotherapy: This approach uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Examples include checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and cancer vaccines. Hormone Therapy: Used primarily in cancers that are driven by hormones, such as breast and prostate cancer, this therapy blocks the body's ability to produce hormones or interferes with their effects. Gene Therapy: This innovative approach involves altering the genetic material within cancer cells to stop their growth or make them more susceptible to other treatments.
