Abstract:
Molecular targeted therapy (MTT) refers to a new therapy designed to interfere with a specific molecular target or signaling pathway that may have a significant influence in tumor growth or progression. MTT can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis by specific interventions in the signaling pathways of tumor cells. MTT exhibits potential as an effective treatment against cancer. This approach can improve the ability to kill cancer cells and reduce damage to normal tissues. MTT has gradually been used clinically in treating cancer and shown advantages over traditional methods. This paper reviews research progress in this targeted therapy to treat gynecological cancer.
