vascular targeted therapies
Vascular targeted therapies are treatments designed to specifically attack the blood vessels that supply nutrients to abnormal tissues, like tumors. By disrupting these blood vessels, the therapy can effectively starve the abnormal tissue, slowing its growth or causing it to shrink. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and is used in conditions like cancer and macular degeneration. These therapies can include medications or procedures aimed at blocking or destroying the blood vessels feeding the problem area, offering a more focused and often less invasive treatment option.
