Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy is a modern cancer treatment designed to attack specific genetic or molecular features of cancer cells — sparing most healthy cells and potentially reducing side effects. At Medical Professionals of Miami, we use targeted therapy to give patients precise, highly effective treatment options.

Before starting targeted therapy, we perform specialized testing to understand the unique biology of your tumor. This may include genetic sequencing or biomarker analysis to find the “targets” that certain drugs can block or alter.

Once we’ve identified these targets, we select medications that disrupt cancer cell growth and survival. These therapies can be given orally or intravenously, and may be used alone or in combination with other treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

Our patients benefit from ongoing monitoring, regular lab work, and imaging to ensure the treatment is working as intended. If adjustments are needed, we act quickly to keep your care on track.

Targeted therapy represents a new era of precision medicine — one that focuses on treating the cancer in the most effective way possible while preserving your overall health. And at Medical Professionals of Miami, we make sure that precision is paired with compassion.
