Understanding this cancer
Targeted therapies act on specific features of a tumour, and immunotherapies work through the immune system. Both usually require laboratory testing of tumour tissue or blood first, because eligibility depends on those results rather than on the cancer's name. This is why hospitals often ask for tissue blocks or additional molecular tests before commenting. Availability, monitoring requirements and side-effect profiles differ between drugs, and none of it can be assumed from your reports without a specialist's review.
