About Personalized Medicine
The term personalized medicine means the use of molecular analysis methods to better manage a patient’s disease or disease predisposition. These methods include testing for variations in genes, gene expression, proteins, and metabolites. Test results are correlated with clinical factors-such as drug response, disease state, and treatment prognosis-and help physicians individualize treatment for each patient.
