Abstract:

Personalized or precision medicine (PM) is targeting a treatment as individualized and specified as the disease. This advanced approach depends on identifying the genomics, epigenomic, transcriptomics, proteomics and clinical information that drives the breakthroughs and analysis of how a person's unique molecular background affecting on disease/cancer susceptibility, progression and treatment. PM approach is completely extensive of the traditional medical approach (One-Size-Fits-All) to (One-Size-Fits-One), smart, promising and rapidly expanding field of healthcare system towards pro-active treatment, reduced costs and quality of life enhancement.
