What Are Some Examples of High-Efficacy Cancer Drugs?
Several cancer drugs have shown high efficacy in clinical trials and practice:
1. Immunotherapies: Drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab have shown remarkable efficacy in treating cancers like melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer by enhancing the body's immune response against tumors. 2. Targeted Therapies: Drugs such as imatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia and trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer have revolutionized treatment by specifically targeting cancer cells while sparing normal tissues. 3. Chemotherapies: While not as targeted, traditional chemotherapies like doxorubicin and paclitaxel have proven efficacious in various cancer types.
