Targeted Cancer Therapies

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Area of Science:

Radiation Oncology
Implementation Science
Health Services Research

Background:

Significant technological advancements in radiation oncology contrast with heterogeneous adoption of evidence-based practices.
Barriers to practice change hinder the consistent delivery of high-quality cancer care, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the 'time to translation' for evidence-based practices in radiation therapy.
To introduce the principles and applications of implementation science within radiation oncology.

Main Methods:

Critical review of literature on evidence-based practices in radiation therapy.
Exploration of implementation science frameworks, study designs (e.g., hybrid trials, cluster randomization), and related disciplines.
Identification of targets for implementation research in radiation oncology.

Main Results:

The adoption of new evidence-based practices in radiation oncology is often slow and inconsistent.
Implementation science provides systematic approaches to overcome barriers and accelerate the integration of best practices.
Limited current application of implementation science in radiation oncology necessitates further research.

Conclusions:

A deeper understanding and application of implementation science are crucial for improving radiation oncology care delivery.
Implementation science can guide the development of scalable and sustainable solutions to enhance cancer care quality and equity.
Targeting implementation research towards evidence-based practices and quality metrics will facilitate practice change.
