Precision medicine is becoming increasingly personalised as medical
technology advances. Precision medicine recognises the individual genetics,
environment, and lifestyle of each patient. For example, precision medicine
can customise cancer treatment for patients based on their unique genetic
make-up.Although other treatments are less efficient, this personalised medicine
works by attacking tumours based on the patient’s genetics, causing gene
mutations and enabling the cancer drug to be more easily eliminated.

Precision medication has the capacity to revolutionize healthcare in the
future. Precision medication is currently most advanced in oncology, but it
also has fantastic potential in treating rare and genetic diseases, as well
as infections.
Infrastructure problems, inequities, and knowledge issues can make it
difficult for precision medicine to become integrated into healthcare.
