Abstract
The landscape of healthcare is undergoing a profound transformation with the emergence of precision medicine, a revolutionary approach that tailors medical interventions to the unique characteristics of each individual. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in precision medicine, exploring its foundations, applications in disease diagnosis and treatment, integration of big data and artificial intelligence, as well as the ethical considerations and challenges associated with this groundbreaking field. Precision medicine is fundamentally rooted in understanding the intricate interplay between an individual's genetic makeup, molecular profile, and environmental factors. Genome sequencing and the identification of genetic markers have become instrumental in predicting, preventing, and treating diseases on a personalized level, moving away from traditional population-based approaches. In the realm of oncology, precision medicine has redefined cancer care by targeting specific genetic mutations, enabling more effective and less toxic therapies.
