Targeted Cancer Therapy in Bangalore | Dr Murali Subramanian
All of you must have heard about chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may sometimes destroy healthy cells as well. But targeted therapy attacks only cancer cells.
Targeted therapy targets proteins that are responsible for how cancer cells divide, spread, and grow. Advanced research carried out in this field is helping the medical world design more efficient treatments. Research states this therapy as the basis of precision medicine and has led to extensive study in DNA changes and proteins that control cancer cells.
There are two types of targeted therapy
Targeted therapy treat cancer in many ways.
Some of the Targeted therapy side effects include diarrhea, mouth sores, loss of hair, fatigue, and skin problems such as rashes or dry skin.
Targeted therapy is given either as Oral pill or Monoclonal antibodies which is given intravenously.
Targeted therapy does not require overnight hospitalization. They are generally given as day-care therapy or sometimes as all patient therapy.
How long the patient receives targeted therapy depends on the stage of cancer and how the patient’s body responds to the treatment. Targeted therapy can be given in cycles( This refers to a period of treatment followed by a period of rest ) or oral continuous therapy.
Doctors will continuously monitor the tumor and other factors with the help of scans and blood tests during the targeted therapy. This way the doctors can assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

In this blog we will be discussing an important topic that is very common in women.
Let me start with a story.
Ananya was growing up fast, Soumya thought as she saw her little girl folding up her clothes and placing it neatly in her wardrobe. Soumya let out a huge sigh. Soumya and Arvind had been good parents to Ananya.
It had been the best day of their life, holding baby Ananya, their little bundle of joy for the first time. They had made an unspoken promise that day, that they would give the best life to Ananya. Every single day, they had kept their promise.
The question is – like most parents, are Ananya’s parents unaware or ignorant of a hidden danger? The hidden danger that could haunt their precious angel is called cervical cancer.
Would you believe, if I told you that cervical cancer is the most frequent cancer in Indian women?
Precaution is better than Cure. In this blog, we will try to highlight everything that we should know about – How to prevent cervical cancer?
When cells grow abnormally in a woman’s cervix, which connects her uterus with her vagina, it is called cervical cancer. This Cancer may spread to other parts of her body, often the lungs, liver, bladder, vagina, and rectum.
We have seen that most often, Cervical Cancer is caused by infection with a type of virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). This is easily preventable with a vaccine. According to research, 70% of sexually active adults are likely to be infected with at least one HPV type. The good news is that majority of the infections resolve and only a small part of the HPV infections progress to cancer.
In this type of cancer, the cells are not too aggressive and grow slowly. Hence there’s usually time to find and treat it before it causes serious problems.
Women 35 to 44 years old are most likely to get it.
Anyone with a cervix can get cervical cancer. Irrespective of whether the individual is pregnant, post-menopausal, or is sexually inactive, they need to get the screening done.
Risk Factors
Early cervical cancer doesn’t usually cause symptoms, so you probably won’t realize you have it. That’s why it’s so important to get regular screening tests.
Remember that you might not notice symptoms of cervical cancer until it has spread. A few signs to watch out for are
Also, the symptoms after the spread of cervical cancer that you need to be aware of are :
Remember that these symptoms don’t mean you have cervical cancer, and they could just be signs of some other medical conditions.
One of the most frequently asked question- “Is there anything you can do to prevent it?”
Some risk factors, such as family history, can’t be changed. But remember that there are a few lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk.
1-Screening-
I recommend, my dear friends that you get regular check-ups and Pap tests done to prevent cervical Cancer
2-Vaccination
Vaccination against HPV is advised for females who are between 9 to 26 to prevent cervical cancer. But this vaccination is found to be effective when given to people who are not infected with the virus. Hence I recommend that boys and girls need to get the vaccination before they’re sexually active.
Cervical Cancer is a slow-growing, but life-threatening disease, if left undiagnosed. Thanks to modern-day screening techniques, you are more likely to discover precancerous cells that can be removed before they get the chance to develop into Cancer.
The key to defeat cervical cancer is early diagnosis and treatment.

We’re getting better at opening up and started talking about difficult subjects, but many of us still hesitate to talk about them, or avoid them eventually altogether because we think they don’t affect us, especially when it comes to cancer.
According to top oncologists, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Early diagnosis will help keep the disease under control. Around 30% of breast cancer cases are aggressive with rapidly growing tumors.
