kohdehoitoja
Kohdehoitoja, often translated as targeted therapies, represents a class of cancer treatments that work by interfering with specific molecules that are involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which affects all rapidly dividing cells, kohdehoitoja are designed to target particular abnormalities within cancer cells. This can lead to fewer side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy because healthy cells are less likely to be harmed.
These therapies can work in several ways. Some drugs block the signals that tell cancer cells to
The development and use of kohdehoitoja rely heavily on understanding the genetic and molecular makeup of
