Molecular targeted therapy in gynaecologic malignancies: primer for radiologists

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The identification of characteristic genetic alteration in gynaecological malignancies has opened the door for molecular targeted therapy. The purpose of this review is to provide a primer for the radiologist on these agents with emphasis on the role of imaging in treatment response assessment and drug toxicities. The use of targeted therapy in gynaecological malignancies will likely increase in the future and make the role of the radiologist critical in response assessment and detection of toxicities.
