Targeted Cancer Therapies Market - Global Opportunity Analysis 2018 - 2026
Targeted cancer therapies are drugs which block the growth and proliferation of cancer by interfering with specific molecules such as DNA or proteins, which are involved in the growth or expansion of cancerous cells. Targeted cancer therapies differ in several ways from standard chemotherapy. Standard chemotherapy act on all rapidly dividing cancerous cells as well as normal cells, while targeted cancer therapies act on specific molecular targets that are associated with cancer. Standard chemotherapy agents are cytotoxic that kill tumor cells, while targeted therapies are often cytostatic that blocks tumor cell proliferation.
