Targeted Therapies

Meaning

Targeted therapies are a class of clinical treatments that are specifically designed to selectively interfere with distinct molecular targets or signaling pathways that are crucial for the progression of a disease or physiological imbalance. In the context of hormonal health, this may involve agents that selectively modulate a specific hormone receptor or block a rate-limiting enzyme in a metabolic cascade. This approach represents a significant shift toward highly precise, individualized medical intervention based on specific, identified biochemical abnormalities.
