There is another treatment, targeted cancer therapies, now a standard for some cancers and growing in use.Thousands of cancer patients are survivors today because of them, and I am one of them.
According to the National Cancer Institute, "Targeted cancer therapies are drugs or other substances that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression...By focusing on molecular and cellular changes that are specific to cancer, targeted cancer therapies may be more effective than other types of treatment, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and less harmful to normal cells."
