Personalized medicine: hope or hype?
Medicine has always been personalized. For years, physicians have incorporated environmental, behavioural, and genetic factors that affect disease and drug response into patient management decisions. However, until recently, the 'genetic' data took the form of family history and self-reported race/ethnicity. As genome sequencing declines in cost, the availability of specific genomic information...
متن کاملPersonalized medicine: hope or hype.
As Salari et al. state in their recent study, medicine has always been personalized. As more is learnt about diseases, their causes, and how they can be treated, diseases become better characterized. The definitions of diseases become more specific and treatments more tailored to achieve improved outcomes in those who stand to benefit.

متن کاملCardiovascular precision medicine: hope or hype?
An ever-growing number of studies and editorials herald the promise of ‘precision medicine’. On the diagnostic side, new technologies and analytical tools will allow us to pinpoint patient-specific differences and on the treatment side novel therapies will permit us to exploit those differences for better outcomes. A combination of genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomics informati...
متن کاملPersonalized medicine: caught between hope, hype and the real world
Genomic and personalized medicine have become buzz phrases that pervade all fields of medicine. Rapid advances in "-omics" fields of research (chief of which are genomics, proteinomics, and epigenomics) over the last few years have allowed us to dissect the molecular signatures and functional pathways that underlie disease initiation and progression and to identify molecular profiles that help ...
