Asklepios Hospital Barmbek
Asklepios Oncology Centers perform targeted therapy for treatment of different types of cancer. It is a new treatment option achieving high recovery rates even at the advanced stages. Oncologists develop targeted therapy regimen for each patient. Then doctors administer specific drugs in the veins of a patient. The procedure is performed on outpatient basis.
The targeted therapy ‘recognizes’ malignant tumors protein and blocks the biochemical reactions in the tumor. As a result, cancer cells stop dividing and die. The therapy also stimulates the immune system to detect cancer cells. The targeted therapy affects only malignant cells without affecting healthy tissues.
