Targeting Treatment-Resistant Mutations using "Off Target" Targeted Therapies
In this video, Precision Oncology specialist, Alex Rolland, discusses how to target treatment-resistant mutations using “off target” targeted drugs. Many patients on targeted therapies can develop treatment resistant mutations or may have treatment-resistant mutations at the start of treatment...
Alex explains how we can use targeted drugs that would normally only be used to target other genes by looking at the mechanisms unique to each mutation and drug and matching them – in other words, by matching the drug mechanism to the mutation mechanism.
He is joined by Precision Oncology Advocate and CTOAM cofounder, Michelle Morand. They share the key takeaways that all cancer patients, their loved ones, and their doctors need to know about using “off target” targeted therapies to target treatment-resistant mutations.
