Personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics
are two interrelated concepts in modern healthcare that focus on tailoring
medical treatments to the individual characteristics of each patient. These
fields leverage genetic, environmental, and lifestyle information to customize
healthcare, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment efficacy, reducing
adverse effects, and providing more precise care.

Medicine
Personalized medicine
(also called precision medicine) is an approach to healthcare
that takes into account individual differences in patients' genes,
environments, and lifestyles to optimize
medical treatment and care. Unlike the traditional
"one-size-fits-all" approach, where the same treatment is applied to
all patients with a particular condition, personalized medicine aims to tailor
treatments to the specific genetic makeup and unique characteristics of each
individual.
