What Makes Direct Inhibitors Different from Other Cancer Treatments?
Traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often non-specific, meaning they target both healthy and cancerous cells. This can lead to a wide range of side effects. In contrast, direct inhibitors are designed to be more selective, aiming to affect only the cancer cells by targeting specific molecular abnormalities. This specificity not only improves the efficacy of the treatment but also minimizes collateral damage to healthy tissues.
