Abstract :
Cancer is a multi-factorial disease that is spreading very fast in today's world. Informative activities and
preventive efforts have been increased in recent years. Conventional therapies are used for patients to reach an
acceptable level of success and patients can continue their lives but there are some side effects and most of the
times the normal cells encounter damages by these therapies and also probability of recurrence always exist.
So, the presence of a definitive therapy is needed to cure patients without these problems after therapy. Cancer
cells need to use specific molecules in their cellular networks to continue their lives. Therefore, by elucidation
of these molecules and targeting them purposefully a therapeutic strategy can be developed that is called
targeted cancer therapy.
