Who should avoid targeted therapy?

Can you tell me who should avoid targeted therapy?

Targeted therapy is not suitable for everyone. Generally, patients with certain health conditions or those who have specific genetic mutations may need to avoid it.

What specific health conditions might exclude someone from targeted therapy?

Conditions like severe liver or kidney disease, or those with a history of allergic reactions to the therapy components, may be reasons to avoid it.

Are there any age restrictions for targeted therapy?

While age itself isn't a strict barrier, older adults may have different responses to treatment, so careful evaluation is necessary.

What alternatives are available if someone can't use targeted therapy?

Alternatives include traditional chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or clinical trials for other treatment options.

How can I find out if targeted therapy is right for me?

Consulting with an oncologist who can evaluate your specific case and perform necessary tests is the best way to determine suitability.
