Overview

Target therapy is a type of cancer treatment that focuses on specific genetic or molecular changes that are responsible for the growth and spread of cancer. It uses drugs which specifically recognize and bind to these molecular targets and inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells. Target therapy is particularly effective for stomach cancers, especially those driven by mutations in the HER2 gene, as it can specifically target this type of cancer. Target therapy is a valuable tool in the treatment of stomach cancer as it can improve patient outcomes and reduce the side effects associated with other treatments, such as chemotherapy. Additionally, it can be used alongside other treatments, including surgery and radiotherapy, to provide a more comprehensive approach to the treatment of the cancer.
