Targeted therapy in United Kingdom: Cost-Effective options

The specialists of Anadolu Medical Oncology Department prescribe a targeted therapy for treatment of some types of cancer. It shows good results even at the advanced stages of oncological development. Oncologists prescribe a targeted therapy regimen. Specialized medical staff inserts the medications into a patient’s body. Such drugs can be used: bevacizumab, cetuximab (Erbitux), panitumumab (Vectibix).
