Abstract

The idea of precision medicine came into existence that all patients who received the same therapy do not respond in the same manner and there exists an inter-individual variation. Researchers then found that precision medicine plays a vital role which may lead to treatment failure or toxicity. Precision medicine will provide the right medicine at the right time to the right patients with specific characteristics for a better clinical outcome. It utilizes the information related to a person’s genes, proteins and environment to cure disease. This breaks the model of “one fits for all” and it helps us to sequence DNA which is unique for everyone and to decide therapy based on the genetic information. The difference between the terms “precision medicine” and “personalized medicine” is to be understood since the former will classify people into subpopulations that have difference in their susceptibility to disease and the latter refers to a single drug for a single individual. It has its applications to detect any genetic alterations starting before birth and till old age. Due to this reason, precision medicine has taken over the personalized medicine and the word “precision” means accurate and precise.
