Hi.....,  Targeted drug therapy targets cancerous cells to interfere with cell growth on a molecular level. such as monoclonal antibodies, alter specific aspects of cancer cells that fuel their growth. These drugs can interrupt the spread and growth of specific tongue cancer cells. It is often combined with chemotherapy and or radiation therapy as part of a tongue cancer treatment plan...
