Targeted therapy for cancer has reshaped modern oncology by moving treatment away from broad, non-specific chemotherapy toward precision-based approaches that act on defined molecular targets within cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which can damage both cancerous and healthy tissues, targeted cancer therapy focuses on specific genetic mutations, receptors, or signaling pathways that drive tumor growth and survival. As a result, targeted therapy for cancer treatment is increasingly guided by molecular profiling to ensure the right therapy reaches the right patient at the right time. With advances in molecular diagnostics and biomarker testing accelerating, targeted therapy is becoming part of standard cancer care worldwide.<\/p><h2><strong>What is Targeted Therapy?<\/strong><\/h2><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40260\" src=\"https:\/\/mdfl-blog20.azurewebsites.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image1-3.jpg\" alt=\"What is Targeted Therapy?\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdfl-blog20.azurewebsites.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image1-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mdfl-blog20.azurewebsites.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image1-3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdfl-blog20.azurewebsites.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image1-3-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><p>Targeted therapy for cancer uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack cancer cells based on molecular features unique to the tumor.
