Biotech Pullback: Look to Targeted Therapy Companies
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Oct 19, 8:28AM CDT
REDONDO BEACH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 19, 2015 / It's with good reason that there is a growing choir of voices heralding the science of targeted therapies as innovative approaches to improving medical care. Advancements in biology and technology underscore discovering specific receptors in cells that can be targeted for meaningful benefits in hard to treat diseases and conditions. There is also a significant diagnostic component in identifying which patients may benefit from certain therapies, while giving direction to avoid other treatments that likely would be ineffective. Combined, these streamline the treatment process and improve outcomes, equating to better quality of life for patients and a quantifiable savings to overburdened healthcare systems.
