    GlossaryTargeted Drug Delivery (Targeted Therapy)

    method of delivering medication directly to specific cells

    Targeted Drug Delivery, also known as Targeted Therapy, is a method of delivering medication directly to specific cells or tissues, minimizing exposure to healthy cells and reducing side effects. This approach is particularly useful in treating diseases like cancer, where drugs can be directed to attack only cancerous cells, thereby improving treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
