Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is an approach that tailors treatment and prevention plans to the individual patient. This customized approach combines a patient's medical history and genomic data with other considerations such as socioeconomic factors and broader clinical recommendations. Precision medicine is on the rise in healthcare and shows particular promise for tackling hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and genetic disorders. In this special feature article, we explore some of the latest methods and solutions that are aiming to help physicians provide the best patient care.
