precision medicine
Personalized healthcare approach
Precision medicine is medical treatment tailored to individual patients based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
The term gained prominence in the 2010s as genetic sequencing became affordable: Precision medicine allows oncologists to target therapies to specific tumor mutations.
Also called personalized medicine.
