Therapeutic targeting

Therapeutic targeting refers to the approach of designing treatments that specifically aim at certain molecules or pathways involved in diseases, particularly cancers. Instead of using broad treatments that affect many cells, therapeutic targeting seeks to home in on specific characteristics of a disease, such as unique proteins on cancer cells. This precision can enhance the effectiveness of therapies while minimizing side effects, as the treatment focuses on the problematic areas without harming healthy cells. Overall, it represents a more personalized method of medicine that considers the unique biology of each patient's illness.
