How Targeted Therapy Works

Targeted therapies can work in several ways to stop cancer growth:

Blocking Growth Signals: They can block the signals that cancer cells use to grow and multiply.
Inducing Cancer Cell Death: They can trigger cancer cells to die on their own, a process called apoptosis.
Inhibiting Blood Vessel Formation: They can stop the creation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that a tumor needs to survive, causing the cancer cells to perish from lack of blood supply.
Targeting Genetic Mutations: They can target specific mutations or fusions in the cancer cells, such as EGFR, ALK, HER2, BRAF, RET, ROS1, and NTRK, which they use to proliferate.

Diagnosing for Targeted Therapy

To determine if a patient will benefit from targeted therapy, Dr. Sandip Ganguly uses advanced genetic and molecular testing, such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), to identify these specific targets in a patient’s tumor. This allows for a personalized approach by matching patients with the most effective treatments.

Cancers Treated with Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy has become a standard of care in many malignancies, including:

Lung Cancer: Treatments are available for specific mutations like EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET, RET, and BRAF.
Breast Cancer: Targeted therapies are used for cancers that overexpress HER2.
Colorectal Cancer: Therapies exist for specific RAS and BRAF mutations.
Other Cancers: It is also used for cancers with NTRK fusions and other molecular abnormalities.

How Does Targeted Gene Therapy for Lung Cancer in Kolkata Work?

Targeted gene therapy works by attacking specific genetic mutations or proteins in lung cancer cells that drive their growth. In Kolkata, doctors use advanced drugs that block these mutations, slowing cancer progression while causing fewer side effects than chemotherapy.

At What Stage of Cancer Is Targeted Therapy Used?

Targeted therapy is mainly used in advanced or metastatic stages of cancer, especially when genetic testing shows mutations. It may also be used in earlier stages after surgery or chemotherapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Does Targeted Therapy for Lung Cancer Stage 4 Work?

Yes, targeted therapy can be effective for stage 4 lung cancer if the tumor has specific genetic mutations. It can help control the disease, shrink tumors, and extend survival, though it is usually not a permanent cure.
