Zielgerichtete Therapien aus Sicht der Klinischen Pharmazie
摘要
Targeted therapies in oncology (“precision medicine”) are drugs or substances that target particular biological characteristics of cancer cells, that control tumor growth. They may slow uncontrolled growth or suppress angiogenesis. Patients can benefit from this type of therapy only when their tumor expresses these targets. Such drugs sometimes feature complex directions for administration, are highly expensive or present severe risks for interactions or adverse drug reactions. Clinical pharmacists offer a major contribution to optimal effectiveness by counseling patients regarding medication use or potential interactions.
