Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is revolutionizing the treatment of respiratory diseases by tailoring medical care to the individual characteristics of each patient. This approach leverages genetic research to identify specific biomarkers and genetic variations that influence the development, progression and response to treatment of respiratory conditions. The ultimate goal is to enhance treatment efficacy, reduce adverse effects and improve patient outcomes. Precision medicine relies on a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of diseases. In respiratory diseases, such as asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and lung cancer, genetic research has uncovered critical insights into how these conditions manifest and respond to various treatments. The foundation of precision medicine lies in its ability to tailor medical care to the unique genetic and molecular profile of each patient. This personalized approach stands in contrast to the traditional one-size-fits-all model of healthcare, which often fails to account for individual variability in disease manifestation and treatment response.
