How Targeted Treatments Can Save Your Life

Over the past decade, cancer specialists and researchers have begun to realize that cancer treatment needs to focus less on where it is in the body and more on what is causing it to grow. When we perform genetic sequencing for a cancer patient we can now isolate the mutated gene(s) that are driving their cancer. Targeted treatment then matches the mutated gene(s) to a specific therapy that has been designed and proven to target that gene.

How Is This Life-Saving?

Targeted treatments continue to demonstrate improved outcomes and survival rates. For example, “in trials using precision medicine, tumour shrinkage rates were 30.6% compared with only 4.9% in those that did not.”

Because targeted treatments only target the cells with your specific mutated gene(s), while leaving the remainder of your healthy cells to thrive, there are also fewer and less severe side-effects during and after treatment. Yale Cancer Center’s chief of medical oncology, Dr. Roy Herbst, agrees that precision medicine is “about targeting treatment so that it’s more powerful, while reducing the toxicity, so there are fewer side-effects.”

Conventional chemotherapy and radiation, on the other hand, do not discriminate between the cancer cells and the healthy cells which leads to increased side-effects, (such as nausea, hair loss and fatigue), higher chances of cancer recurrences, and less favourable outcomes and survival rates.
