What’s good about personalized medicine
For a long time, the practice of medicine has largely been
reactive, waiting for the onset of disease before treating or curing
it. But we’re all unique in terms of genetic makeup, environment,
and lifestyle factors. Our growing understanding of genetics and
genomics – the study of all of a person’s genes – and how they
drive health, disease and treatment in individual people offers an
opportunity to step away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach based
on broad population averages and adopt an individualized
approach.
In addition to advances in the field of genomics,
developments in the fields of science and technology play a
crucial role in personalized medicine (for example, the
development of high-resolution analytics, biotech research and
chemistry, and the ability to decipher molecular structures,
signaling pathways, and protein interactions that underpin the
mechanisms of gene expression).
Personalized medicine is about more than prescribing the
best drugs, although that’s a large part of it. Proponents say it
would shift medicine’s emphasis from reaction to prevention,
better predict disease susceptibility and improve diagnosis,
produce more effective drugs and reduce adverse side effects,
and eliminate the inefficiency and cost of adopting a trial-anderror approach to healthcare. […]
Despite its numerous benefits, the adoption of a personalized
medicine approach raises several issues. For it to reach peak
efficiency, a lot of genomic data must be collected from a large
and diverse section of the population, and it’s critical that
participants’ privacy and confidentiality are protected.
