"Targeted agents" refer to specific substances or medications that are designed to act against specific targets in the body, such as proteins, molecules, or cells, with the aim of treating or managing certain diseases or conditions. These agents are focused on addressing specific targets rather than affecting the entire body.

A. Right now, The Cancer Institute of New Jersey and other institutions are engaged in an approach known as precision / personalized medicine, where systems biologists and other specialists collaborate with scientists and clinicians to identify the molecular alterations associated with cancer, and then tailor regimens
of targeted agents to those specific alterations or mutations.
