Targeted cancer therapies are drugs or other substances that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecular targets that are involved in the growth, progression, and spread of cancer.

There are several different types of targeted therapy. The most common types are small-molecule drugs and monoclonal antibodies. Small-molecule drugs are small enough to enter cells easily, so they are used for targets that are inside cells, while monoclonal antibodies are usually used for targets that are located outside the cells. Because of high specificity, low side effect and potent anticancer activity, targeted therapy has become the mainstream of new anti-tumor drugs. Various targeted therapies have been approved by FDA and used in the treatment of diseases.

MCE carefully collects a unique of 108 targeted therapy drugs used in cancer treatment. MCE Targeted therapy drug library is a useful tool for the research of targeted therapy.
