FROM PERSONALIZED TO PRECISION MEDICINE

CROSSING THE WAY OF PRECISION MEDICINE APPROACH IN PERSONALIZED MEDICINE RESEARCH CENTER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background: Precision medicine is a new approach in the field of medical sciences that utilizes the genetic characteristics of each patient along with clinical information to guide decisions related to diagnosis and early treatment of diseases. The Personalized Medicine Research Center, as the only center approved by the Ministry of Health, is working on precision medicine context and producing...

From "Personalized" to "Precision" Medicine: The Ethical and Social Implications of Rhetorical Reform in Genomic Medicine.

Since the late 1980s, the human genetics and genomics research community has been promising to usher in a "new paradigm for health care"-one that uses molecular profiling to identify human genetic variants implicated in multifactorial health risks. After the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, a wide range of stakeholders became committed to this "paradigm shift," creating a conflue...

Personomics: The Missing Link in the Evolution from Precision Medicine to Personalized Medicine

Clinical practice guidelines have been developed for many common conditions based on data from randomized controlled trials. When medicine is informed solely by clinical practice guidelines, however, the patient is not treated as an individual, but rather a member of a group. Precision medicine, as defined herein, characterizes unique biological characteristics of the individual or of specimens...

Prospecting for Precision: Promises for Personalized Medicine.

Precision Medicine for Personalized Cancer Therapy.

Precision medicine is defined as the tailoring of clinical strategies based on genomic, genetic, behavioral and environment background of individual patients. Statistics indicated that traditional clinical practices sometimes lead to poor health outcomes and a waste of medical resources. Medical waste due to unnecessary treatment or ineffective treatment amounted to 75 billion US dollars per ye...
