In this video, Dr Vikas Goswami, (Medical Oncology) Senior Consultant at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali explains Targeted Therapy and how it is beneficial for Head and Neck Cancer. He explains that the treatment of advanced Head and Neck Cancer is no more limited to debilitating chemotherapy. In today’s era, we have specialised medication known as targeted medicines which are monoclonal antibodies and another famous option immunotherapy that helps to increase body’s immunity to fight against cancer. They can be given alone or they can be combined with chemotherapy to enhance the effect.
According to him, the advantage of targeted medicine is that they are fairly well – tolerable. So, the patient can take them for a fairly long time, without affecting the quality of his life. The backbone of targeted medicine is a lab which is equipped to diagnose the genetic expression profiling.
We at Max have one of the best equipment to diagnose this genetic profiling.
