Modern medicine has achieved remarkable success in improving life expectancy and reducing the burden of many diseases. Nevertheless, one of the longstanding limitations of conventional healthcare is the assumption that patients with the same diagnosis will respond similarly to identical treatments. Clinical experience repeatedly demonstrates that therapeutic responses vary considerably between individuals, with some patients experiencing excellent outcomes while others derive limited benefit or develop serious adverse effects. Precision medicine has emerged as a response to this challenge by promoting individualized therapeutic strategies based on the biological characteristics of each patient rather than relying solely on disease classification. Precision medicine integrates information from multiple sources, including genetic variation, molecular profiles, clinical history, environmental exposure and lifestyle factors, to guide healthcare decisions. Rather than replacing traditional clinical practice, it enhances clinical decision making through a more comprehensive understanding of disease mechanisms. This shift represents an evolution from reactive disease management toward predictive, preventive and patient centred healthcare.
