Sažetak
Personalized medicine is a medical model that proposes the healthcare advance, with all decisions and practices being tailored to the individual patient by use of genetic or other information. Personalized medicine is a young but rapidly advancing field of healthcare that is informed by each person's unique clinical, genetic, genomic, and environmental information. There are several affected parties: the industry, the regulators, physicians, the patients and the general public. Personalized medicine could enable the pharmaceutical industry to develop a more efficient drug development process, based on the latest research on disease pathophysiology and genetic risk factors. Since the aim of personalized medicine is to improve healthcare, patients will continue to benefit from advances in biomedical research and individualized treatments. Public education about the potential benefits of personalized medicine will be an important facet of its widespread acceptance. There should be no more delay in investigating this approach for managing dermatologic drugs.
