Targeted therapies are cancer treatments that stop or slow the spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules that are involved in the cancer cell’s growth processes; there are different categories of targeted therapy that have been developed to treat non-small cell lung cancer that are based on genetic mutations and molecular processes that have been found in some NSCLC tumors.

I’m going into 3 years on Targeted Therapy Drug. It’s working. Has a few side effects, but they are minor
That's so great to hear that you're three years in and experiencing only minor side effects. Thank you for sharing since I know that will give many other community members hope. Keep us updated with your story if you want!
