Precision Medicine in Respiratory Diseases: Customizing Treatment Based on Genetic Research
Author(s): Jonathan Burris*
Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is revolutionizing the treatment of respiratory diseases by tailoring medical care to
the individual characteristics of each patient. This approach leverages genetic research to identify specific biomarkers and genetic variations
that influence the development, progression and response to treatment of respiratory conditions. The ultimate goal is to enhance treatment
efficacy, reduce adverse effects and improve patient outcomes. Precision medicine relies on a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and
molecular basis of diseases. In respiratory diseases, such as asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and lung
cancer, genetic research has uncovered critical insights into how these conditions manifest and respond to various treatments. The foundation
of precision medicine l.. Read More»
