Targeted Therapy

A New Era in Cancer Care: Understanding Targeted Therapy & Precision Medicine with Al Riaz Health Services

Cancer touches millions of lives — over 19 million people are diagnosed each year worldwide, says the World Health Organization. Too often, it’s treated with a “one-size-fits-all” approach, where standard chemotherapy or radiation doesn’t work the same for everyone. But what if your treatment could be designed just for you?

At Al Riaz Health Services, we’re excited to bring you Targeted Therapy and Precision Medicine — treatments that attack cancer’s weak spots while sparing healthy cells. Instead of flooding your whole body with harsh drugs, targeted therapy zooms in on the exact changes in your cancer’s DNA or proteins.

This is cancer care made smarter, safer, and more personal. As a leading medical tourism company built on trust, compassion, and ethical care, we’re here to connect you with the best labs, genetic testing centers, and world-class oncologists. Whether you’re nearby or traveling from across the globe, we’ll guide you step by step into this new era of treatment.

What Is Targeted Therapy & Precision Medicine? Your Simple Guide

At Al Riaz Health Services, we make this simple. We connect you to genetic testing, leading labs, and expert oncologists who know how to match test results to treatments like trastuzumab (HER2+ breast cancer), osimertinib (EGFR lung cancer), dabrafenib (BRAF melanoma), or olaparib (BRCA ovarian cancer).

At Al Riaz Health Services, we make this simple for you. We team up with top labs and cancer experts to bring you fast, clear results whether you’re checking your health at home or visiting us as a medical tourist.

How Does Precision Medicine Work? Breaking It Down

It’s like giving your doctor a map of your cancer and handing them the right weapon to stop it.

At Al Riaz, we partner with leading labs and use trusted platforms like FoundationOne® CDx or Caris Molecular Intelligence® to ensure accurate testing.

Here’s the science in three easy steps:

Why Targeted Therapy Is a Big Deal for You

Take Aisha from Nigeria, 52, with HER2+ breast cancer. Standard chemo wasn’t working, but targeted therapy with trastuzumab turned things around — with fewer side effects. At Al Riaz, we make stories like hers possible by linking you to world-class care that’s tailored to your biology.

Targeted therapy isn’t just another option — it’s a revolution in how cancer is treated. Here’s why:

Targeted Therapy vs. Chemotherapy: What’s Best for You?

What You Care About Targeted Therapy / Precision Medicine Traditional Chemotherapy
How It Works Blocks cancer-specific mutations Attacks all fast-growing cells
Side Effects Mild (skin rash, fatigue, diarrhea) Severe (hair loss, nausea, immune suppression)
How Fast It Works Starts within weeks, tailored results Broad effect, less predictable
Long-Term Use Can be taken as pills or IV for months/years Often limited by toxicity
Personalization Built on your cancer’s DNA Same drugs for most patients

Who Can Benefit from Targeted Therapy?

This could be you if:

You Have Genetic Mutations

HER2, EGFR, ALK, BRAF, KRAS, BRCA, and more

You’ve Tried Chemo Before

And need a smarter, gentler option.

You’re Fighting Advanced Cancer

Lung, breast, colorectal, ovarian, melanoma, or leukemia.

Your Cancer Returned

Targeted drugs can stop resistant tumors.

You’re a Medical Tourist

Want effective care abroad without long hospital stays? We make it smooth.

Meet Omar from Sudan. His lung cancer biopsy revealed an EGFR mutation. Through Al Riaz, he started on osimertinib instead of chemo — shrinking his tumors with fewer side effects.

Why Targeted Therapy Matters for Medical Tourism

Traveling for health can be overwhelming. Targeted therapy makes it easier:

  •  Shorter hospital stays.
  •  Oral drugs available for many cancers.
  • Personalized plans you can continue at home.
  • Fewer side effects while traveling.

At Al Riaz, we’ve built precision medicine packages that include:

Genetic & molecular testing.
Expert oncologist consultations (in-person or online).
Travel help flights, hotels, translators.
Ongoing support so your treatment doesn’t stop when you go home.

Imagine: you land, take a biopsy test, meet a specialist, and start your new targeted treatment in just days. That’s world-class care, made simple.

The Future of Precision Medicine Is Here

Scientists are working on the next wave of precision oncology — therapies that use AI, CRISPR, and immune-targeting drugs to treat even rare cancers. Soon, one blood test could match you to dozens of therapies at once.

At Al Riaz, we’re ready to bring you these breakthroughs as they happen — because the right treatment, at the right time, can change everything.

Real Stories, Real Hope: Patient Testimonials

Absolutely mind-blowing! The treatment I received in South Africa exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the professionalism of the medical staff and the modern facilities. The procedure was done with exceptional care, and the recovery was quick. I was able to receive high-quality healthcare at a fraction of the cost compared to my home country. Highly recommend medical tourism for those seeking affordable and world-class care.

I had my surgery in India, and it was an incredible experience. The doctors were highly skilled and experienced, and the hospital staff were incredibly caring and attentive. The hospital was equipped with the latest technology, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The cost of the treatment was significantly lower than what I would have paid back home, and the overall experience was smooth, making this medical tourism option one I would suggest to anyone.

My dental treatment in Thailand was a life-changer. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure care, the process was seamless. The dentists were not only experts in their field but also provided excellent communication, explaining each step of the procedure. The clinic had state-of-the-art equipment and a comfortable environment. I couldn’t believe the difference in cost compared to what I would have paid in the US. Medical tourism in Thailand is an affordable, safe, and highly recommended option.

Maria

I visited Mexico for my hip replacement surgery. The level of care and attention I received was outstanding. The hospital staff were friendly, and the doctors were very professional, taking the time to explain the whole process and answer all my questions. The recovery process was much quicker than I expected, and the surgery was performed with the latest techniques and equipment. The cost was much lower than in the US, but the quality of care was just as high. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Peter

Mexico

I had a hair transplant in Turkey, and the results were phenomenal! The clinic I visited was very professional, and the team made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. The procedure was relatively quick and virtually painless, and the results were visible within a few months. The facility was modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology. It’s amazing how much money I saved compared to prices in the US, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Turkey as a top destination for medical tourism.
