The Best Ways To Treat Breast Cancer

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy uses medication to directly seek out and destroy breast cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, the medication used in this treatment method don't inadvertently destroy healthy, cancer-free cells in the process. Instead, they're designed to affect only those cells which display telltale characteristics of cancer—like abnormally fast growth and reproduction. Because of its ability to only attack diseased cells, the side effects of targeted therapy are generally mild when compared to other breast cancer treatment options. It's estimated that up to two-thirds of all breast cancer cases can be targeted with this method. However, at this time, it's not considered a safe procedure for pregnant women.
