Solingen Clinic for Oncology specializes in the treatment of different types of cancer. Oncologists prescribe a targeted therapy regimen if chemotherapy is ineffective or when it can show better results. Targeted therapy can be used without surgery or other treatment options. It is effective for skin, colorectal, blood, lung, kidney cancer, etc.
The mechanism of targeted therapy is the following: specific drugs administered into the body detect the protein of cancer cells. Then they are recognized, medications block the development of biochemical processes inside the tumor. As a result, malignant cells stop their growth and die.
Compared to chemotherapy, targeted therapy does not destroy healthy tissues, so a quantity of side effects is much lower.
