How is targeted therapy different from chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy affects all rapidly dividing cells including healthy ones. Targeted therapy specifically attacks cancer cells with particular genetic mutations — resulting in better outcomes and fewer side effects for suitable patients.

How do I know if targeted therapy is right for my cancer?

Molecular profiling of your tumour identifies whether targetable mutations are present. Dr. Wagh coordinates this testing and reviews results to determine your eligibility for targeted therapy.

What cancers can be treated with targeted therapy at Dr. Wagh's Baner clinic?

Targeted therapies are available for breast, lung, kidney, liver, colon, stomach, ovarian, pancreatic, thyroid, prostate, and several other cancer types depending on genetic profile.

Are targeted therapies available in Baner, Pune?

Yes. Dr. Rahul Wagh at his Baner clinic coordinates complete targeted therapy workup including molecular testing, therapy selection, and monitoring in Pune.

Can targeted therapy be combined with surgery?

Yes. Targeted therapy is often used before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink tumours, after surgery (adjuvant) to prevent recurrence, or as primary treatment for cancers not suitable for surgery.

Targeted Cancer Treatment in Baner, Pune

Q: What are targeted cancer treatments?

Targeted treatments attack specific molecules or mutations in cancer cells with precision. They are more focused than chemotherapy and cause fewer side effects. Dr. Wagh offers targeted therapy planning at his Baner, Pune clinic.

What are Targeted Cancer Treatments?

Targeted cancer treatments are therapies that identify and attack specific molecules or genetic mutations in cancer cells — leaving healthy cells largely unaffected. Unlike traditional chemotherapy which affects all rapidly dividing cells, targeted therapies are precision-based and cause fewer systemic side effects.

Dr. Rahul Wagh offers targeted treatment planning as part of a comprehensive cancer care approach at his Baner, Pune clinic. He works with molecular oncology teams to identify the right targeted therapy for each patient based on their cancer's genetic profile.

Targeted treatments include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, PARP inhibitors, CDK inhibitors, and immunotherapy agents — used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy.
