Abstract

Cancer therapy in the last few decades has gone through immense changes in the treatment regimen. For the last years, the main formof treatment for any type of cancer were surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. These methods though the backbone of any cancer treatment do not help in advanced and relapsed cancer stages [1]. To develop therapies that could help patients in advanced stages of cancer, researchers developed targeted therapy in the form of monoclonal antibodies, and these were marketed for different types of cancer depending on the target they attack [2]. Some examples include imatinib (Gleecev) and trastuzumab (Herceptin), to name two. These drugs worked by honing in on specific molecular targets on cancer cells, becoming the standard of treatment for those cancers.
