Abstract

The administration of targeted therapies (TT) has improved the treatment of some oncological indications. Five substances for TT in lung cancer and 11 substances for TT in breast cancer have been approved so far. An increased survival time and better response to treatment in EGFR-positive lung cancer patients as well as an increased quality of life in breast cancer could be proven. Actually, some economic and medical challenges preclude a wider application of targeted therapies in the oncology.
