Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment. This treatment focuses on fighting cancer by killing cancer cells or inhibiting the cell division of cancer cells. Because the treatment specifically targets the cancer cells, the treatment usually does less damage to healthy and surrounding tissue. Usually, targeted therapy is given in combination with another therapy.

In this Divi, the patient is explained how it works, how it is administered and the different forms of targeted therapy. Preparation and aftercare are also discussed. Finally, the Divi also addresses living with cancer.
