Oncologists of Sourasky Oncology Department apply targeted therapy for cancer treatment. It is alternative to chemotherapy for treatment skin, blood, stomach, lung, kidney, prostate cancers. Specialists administer medications in a patient’s organism. They detect malignant cells and destroys them, stop their division and help the immune system to ‘recognize’ cancer.
Oncologists appoint targeted therapy only after a complete examination of a patient. The main advantage of this therapy compared to chemo is that it does not affect healthy cells, only cancer affected ones. Targeted therapy also causes fewer side effects. It does not require hospitalization or additional treatment options.
