What Are Some Recent Advances in Cancer Pharmacology?
Recent advances include the development of immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer, with drugs like checkpoint inhibitors showing significant promise. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, specifically target cancer-causing molecules, offering a more precise approach compared to traditional chemotherapy. Another exciting area is the use of biomarkers to personalize treatment plans based on an individual's genetic makeup.
