With certain complex medical conditions, it is now both reasonable and feasible to use genomic and other molecular analyses to identify the true drivers underlying the condition and correlative studies to link those drivers to specific treatments. 1 Such an approach has been variably described as personalized medicine or molecularly guided medicine, but the term precision medicine is most often used. Note that the use of terms such as personalized medicine and precision medicine to describe this approach is not meant to suggest that other medical approaches are not personalized or precise. Rather, such usage highlights the greater degree of precision afforded by genomic analysis of individual patients.
