Targeted Cancer Therapies Market Status, Competition & Companies, Growth Opportunities, Top Key Players and Forecast by 2026

Targeted cancer therapies work by blocking the growth and proliferation of cancer as they interfere with specific molecules such as DNA or proteins, which are involved in the growth or expansion of cancerous cells. There are major differences in targeted cancer therapies and standard chemotherapy. Standard chemotherapy acts on all rapidly dividing cancerous cells as well as normal cells. However, targeted cancer therapies only target cells that are associated with cancer. Standard chemotherapy agents are cytotoxic, which eliminate tumor cells. However, targeted therapies are often cytostatic and focus on blocking tumor cell proliferation. In targeted therapy, information about a person’s gene and protein is used to prevent, diagnose, and treat a disease. Such approach makes targeted therapies viable in making precision medicine. The primary use of targeted therapies is in the treatment of cancer and are mostly used along with another treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.
