         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>What? </strong>: A form of cancer treatment known as targeted therapy goes after the proteins that regulate how cancer cells proliferate, divide, and disseminate. It serves as the basis for precision medicine.<br><strong><br>When? </strong>: The main advantage of targeted therapy is that it can eliminate cancer cells without harming healthy cells. It may also prevent the development of cancer cells. When other treatments have failed, healthcare professionals may suggest targeted therapies.<br><strong><br>Why? </strong>: In order to make it simpler for the immune system to locate and eliminate cancer cells, some targeted medicines can identify cancer cells. Some targeted medicines give your immune system a boost so that it can fight cancer more effectively.<br><strong><br>Side Effects</strong> <strong>: </strong>problems with blood clotting and wound healing, high blood pressure, fatigue, mouth sores, nail changes, etc.</div>]]></description>
