What is the concept of precision medicine

Summary: In 2015, the United States launched a precision medicine program. Precision medicine is a new medical concept and medical model based on individualized medicine, combined with gene sequencing, bioinformatics and other modern technologies, to design the best treatment plan for patients. The inefficiency of current therapeutic drugs has also prompted us to move towards precision medicine. The significance of precision medicine is to let each of us enjoy more accurate, less dosage and more effective treatment. First, the concept of precision medicine

The concept is that future drugs will be customized for each individual or a small group of people, and the mass production of a class of drugs currently used will gradually decline or be eliminated.

Precision medicine is a kind of medicine that uses precise drugs and fewer drugs, and it is a more precise personalized medicine.

The significance and future of precision medicine

1, the concept of precision medicine is a revolutionary shift from the current diagnosis and treatment-oriented to the protection and prevention-oriented.

2, mass production of the same type of drugs will become no longer applicable, personal illness will be as unique as your personality is generally treated.

3. Personalized treatment based on each individual's genetic differences will make medical treatment more efficient.

4. Precision medicine has brought about a shift in treatment, with many cancer patients receiving genomic testing as part of their treatment.

5. Enhancing disease prevention. In the prevention of disease is the same mechanism, each individual specific prevention way is different.

6, through the study of comparative analysis of the genetic information of different individuals, to further understand a variety of diseases **** the same cause and individual causes, so as to develop a specific patient specific disease mutation genes of targeted drugs and therapeutic methods.
