Abstract:
Molecule-targeting agents inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by the molecular biological differences between tumor cells and normal cells, and finally kill tumor cells. This article introduces several molecule-targeting agents that are currently under clinical trials now.
Insights
Molecule-targeting agents exploit tumor cell differences to inhibit proliferation and kill cancer cells. This review highlights agents currently in clinical trials for cancer therapy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Molecular Biology

Background:
- Cancer cells exhibit distinct molecular biological differences compared to normal cells.
- Targeting these molecular differences offers a strategy to selectively inhibit tumor growth.
- Molecule-targeting agents represent a class of therapeutics designed for precision cancer treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and review emerging molecule-targeting agents for cancer therapy.
- To provide an overview of agents currently undergoing clinical trials.
- To highlight the potential of targeted therapies in oncology.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of ongoing clinical trials for molecule-targeting agents.
- Analysis of the mechanisms of action for selected agents.
- Summary of the current status of these agents in clinical development.
Main Results:
