Precision Medicine
Precision medicine is an approach to healthcare that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle when making medical decisions for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. It involves analyzing multiple sources of data, such as genetic, clinical, environmental, and lifestyle factors, to tailor medical care to the unique needs of each patient.
Precision medicine has already demonstrated success in areas such as oncology, where the use of targeted therapies has improved survival rates and reduced side effects. It also has potential in other fields, such as neurology and cardiology, where personalized treatment plans may be more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach.
