This means they act by killing cells that divide rapidly, one main property of most cancer cells. Targeted therapy (sometimes called biologic therapy) is more directed therapy than chemotherapy, tailored to attack cancer cells based on specific genetic or cellular features. Depending on diagnosis, chemotherapy or targeted therapy may be combined together or with other treatments. Patient cancer treatment plans are prescribed in consultation with our highly skilled oncologists and administered by oncology-certified nurses. Advanced nurse practitioners (ANPs) help our physicians educate our patients on their treatment and manage side effects due to treatment. Katmai Oncology Group offers an integrative approach to cancer care and treatment. Our Integrative Services are available to all our patients to help treat mind, body and spirit.
