FEATURED PANELIST - Mark H. Physician

1. Precision Medicine

.

Extract of Mark S.'s insights and opinion:

Precision medicine may be increasingly used this coming year as a means to exploit information about a patient's own genes or proteins to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease more precisely and therefore more efficaciously. In cancer, for example, precision medicine uses specific information about a patient's tumor to help make a diagnosis, plan treatment, find out how well treatment is working, or make a prognosis.
An example of an organization promoting precision medicine is the Personalized Medicine Coalition.
