Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Symptoms And Solutions

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy involves using medications that work differently from chemotherapy. Chemotherapy has widespread effects, meaning it often kills healthy cells near the cancer cells, but not the medications in targeted therapy. Targeted therapy medications specifically target certain cancer cells. This means less damage to healthy cells and fewer side effects. Targeted therapy medications are consumed orally in the form of pills and are sometimes continued after remission to keep the cancer from returning.
