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.

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 ...
متن کاملPersonalized medicine in multiple sclerosis: hope or reality?

Currently, a combination of clinical features and imaging parameters in magnetic resonance imaging is used to classify active and non-active patients and treatment responders and non-responders. Alth...
متن کاملThe importance of personalized medicine in urological cancers
Personalized medicine (PM) refers to a set of medical, diagnostic, and therapeutic activities and approaches based on the specific characteristics of each patient chr ('39')s genome. In fact, individual-centered medical approaches are based on personalization, meaning that each person chr ('39')s gene sequence and polymorphisms (SNPs) are different and explain the different courses of urologica...
