Targeted Therapy Evolution from Defining a Sub-population to Crossing Multi-indications.

Abstract

Purpose: It tends not only to shed lights on an emerging classification framework of disease according to the shared molecular pathogenesis across various organs/tissues, but also to inspire more efficient paradigms of pharmaceutic innovation in a broader medical perspective.

Methods: Literature review and re-thinking.

Results: This article has sorted out an updated profile of the outstanding targeted medications with an extending list of clinical indications in oncology and beyond.

Conclusion: Pharmaceutic development can be processed in a less risky and more affordable manner through drug repurpose or tissue agnostic approval.
