Neuro-oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms. Molecular targets and signaling pathways are pivotal in advancing modern healthcare, particularly in personalized medicine. Signaling pathways, which regulate cellular processes such as growth, division, and survival, are frequently dysregulated in cancer. Targeting these pathways has enabled the development of personalized therapies that improve efficacy while minimizing side effects. This approach has led to significant improvements in patient outcomes, reduced treatment toxicity, and a shift toward precision medicine, driving innovation in drug discovery. The integration of molecular targets and signaling pathways into clinical practice highlights their importance for enhancing patient care.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
