Colorectal cancer treatment - Treatment of colorectal cancer: Guideline Treatment Options 2026 | Booking Health / How is targeted therapy used for colorectal cancer?
"Targeted therapy acts on the specific molecular vulnerabilities that a tumor's genetic mutations create — RAS, BRAF, and HER2 alterations each make cancer cells dependent on pathways that corresponding drugs are designed to block. In advanced colorectal cancer, targeted agents are typically combined with chemotherapy, extending the reach of systemic treatment into biological territory that chemotherapy alone cannot address and that surgery has no access to."
