Targeted cancer therapy is a modern treatment that finds and attacks cancer cells by focusing on the genes or proteins that help them grow. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, it spares most healthy cells, so you feel fewer side effects and heal faster.
Wondering how does targeted cancer therapy work?
Identify the target – We test your tumour to see which genes or proteins drive its growth.
Match the medicine – Drugs are chosen to block those exact signals inside cancer cells.
Stop and shrink – The cancer cell can no longer divide, so the tumour shrinks or stops spreading.
We offer a range of advanced Targeted Therapy methods to suit different cancer types and patient conditions, including:
Monoclonal antibodies – Attach to cancer-cell proteins and flag them for destruction.
Small-molecule inhibitors – Slip inside cancer cells and switch off growth signals.
Angiogenesis blockers – Cut off a tumour’s blood supply so it cannot grow.
Our experienced oncology team creates individualized chemotherapy plans based on your cancer type, stage, and overall health. Treatments are administered in our state-of-the-art infusion centres, equipped with comfortable infusion chairs for your safety and ease. We closely monitor your response to therapy, adjusting plans as needed to optimize results. Treatments are typically scheduled every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your regimen.
