Personalized medicine (PM) aims to individualize treatment based on a person's genes, environment, and lifestyle. It involves analyzing a person's genetic, genomic, and clinical information to make predictions about disease susceptibility, progression, and best treatment options. PM is not just about genetics but also considers natural variations in how individuals metabolize and respond to drugs. Through molecular analysis of biomarkers, PM can classify disease subtypes and subgroups that respond differently to therapies. The goals of PM are to enable more informed healthcare decisions, improve outcomes through targeted therapies, reduce side effects, focus on prevention over reaction, allow for earlier intervention, and reduce costs through a more personalized approach.
