Abstract:
Precision medicine is a new developing area of medical research and clinical practice, which is stemmed from the urgent need for high-profile medical health care and fast emergence of exquisite biological and medical technologies.Precision medicine, mainly based on the individualized molecular medicine and sophisticated medical techniques, offers multiple dimensional imaging examinations and biological molecular assays to make subsequent therapeutic strategies much more optimized to the personal disease characteristics than the traditional regimes, hence pursuing maximized efficacy and minimized side effects.The precision medicine in China is stepping into a vigorously developing stage after its first official initiation.This review summarized the development and program design of precision medicine in China to shed light on this growingly progressing area.
