Breakthrough Study Reveals How Chemotherapy Targets Cells That Fuel Tumor Growth with Precision

For decades, chemotherapy has served as one of the primary treatment modalities for cancer, functioning as a powerful tool to eliminate rapidly dividing cells. Yet despite its efficacy, traditional chemotherapy has long been criticized for its lack of selectivity, often damaging healthy tissues alongside malignant ones. This dual-edged nature has spurred an urgent quest for approaches that can more precisely target the biological roots of tumors. Recent advances in molecular oncology, pharmacogenomics, and bioengineering have opened an exciting frontier, transforming our understanding of how chemotherapy targets cells that fuel tumor growth. No longer viewed solely as a blunt instrument, modern chemotherapy is evolving into a treatment defined by accuracy, personalization, and reduced toxicity.
