ABSTRACT

Personalized medicine helps to move the population-based evidence of therapeutic interventions toward individual evidence on how to treat the specic person based on the biological prole, clinical history, and environment. The aim of precision medicine is to offer personalized health care to everyone. Precision medicine is based on the integration of individual information, from genome and cellular phenotype to the interaction with the personal environment leading toward a proactive, preventive, and prospective model of patient care [1-3], contrary to the more traditional reactive approach to the health status of an individual.
