Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is a cutting-edge cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to precisely target and attack cancer cells, while minimizing damage to normal healthy cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which affects both healthy and cancerous cells, targeted therapy specifically targets the molecular changes that drive cancer growth and survival.
At Yashoda Hospital, Dr. Sravan Kumar Chintala, an expert in Medical Oncology and Haemato-Oncology, offers personalized targeted therapy services to effectively treat various types of cancer, improving outcomes and reducing side effects.
Key Features of Our Targeted Therapy Service:
- Molecular Targeting: Targeted therapy focuses on specific molecules within cancer cells, such as proteins or genetic mutations, to block the growth and spread of cancer.
- Precision Treatment: The therapy is customized to each patient based on genetic testing and molecular profiling of their cancer cells, ensuring the most effective treatment approach.
- Minimized Side Effects: Since targeted therapy selectively targets cancer cells, it typically causes fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy, improving the patient’s quality of life during treatment.
- Combination with Other Therapies: Targeted therapy is often used in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or surgery to enhance its effectiveness and treat complex cancers.
- Continuously Evolving: Dr. Chintala keeps up-to-date with the latest advances in cancer research, ensuring his patients benefit from the most current and effective targeted therapies available.
Who Can Benefit from Targeted Therapy?
- Patients with cancers driven by specific genetic mutations, such as HER2-positive breast cancer or EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer.
- Patients with advanced or metastatic cancers, where targeted therapy can help control the disease and improve prognosis.
- Patients with specific blood cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which can be treated with targeted drugs that inhibit abnormal protein production.
- Patients seeking personalized treatment based on the molecular profile of their cancer, ensuring more effective and less toxic treatments.
