What is targeted therapy for lung cancer

summary

My third uncle smoked for most of his life. Later, he was not diagnosed as lung cancer. At that time, he used targeted therapy. Because he found it later, he was unable to control it. It is very important to treat it as soon as possible. Let's take a look at targeted therapy for lung cancer.

What is targeted therapy for lung cancer

First of all, targeted therapy is a new drug therapy for traditional chemotherapy. In fact, both chemotherapy and targeted therapy are drug therapy, but the specific ways are different. The most important thing is to choose the appropriate method.

Secondly, malignant tumors need to start and signal transduction to cause infinite proliferation process. If this signal transduction is blocked, cell proliferation can be prevented. The drugs developed for these targets are now relatively hot targeted drugs.

Finally: for some lung cancer patients, such as EGFR mutation positive patients, who are sensitive to TKI drugs, the improvement of survival time is very obvious, which can basically double or triple the survival time of patients.
