Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to treat, but advances in medicine are creating new hope. One of the most promising approaches today is called targeted therapy. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which attacks all rapidly dividing cells (including healthy ones), targeted therapy homes in on specific molecules within cancer cells to stop the disease's growth. Here’s an overview of how targeted therapy works, what options are available, and what to consider when discussing this treatment with your medical team.
