Read moreWhat is Targeted therapy?
Some cancers carry genetic abnormalities or specific receptors that medications can target directly, without acting on all dividing cells as traditional chemotherapy does. A molecular assessment of the tumor makes it possible to check whether this type of treatment is suited to your case. The treatment is most often taken orally or by infusion, according to a protocol defined by the oncologist.
It is part of regular medical monitoring to adjust the treatment and monitor the tumor's response.
