personalized medicine in focus

What is personalized medicine? Roughly speaking, it is a treatment method that takes individual genetic information, lifestyle and risk factors into account. The goal is to move away from the common unit treatment to tailor -made therapies. This makes them particularly valuable in areas such as oncology, cardiology and rare diseases. This is supported by primomedico.com , where the advantages of these innovative approaches, such as more precise diagnoses and more effective treatments, are also emphasized.

The great strength of personalized medicine is the possibility of recognizing risks at an early stage and improving the quality of life in the long term. Genom sequencing and molecular diagnostic techniques help to predict the effectiveness of therapies. These technologies, which are currently very popular, can also avoid expensive misconducts, which relieves both patients and the health system.

In oncology in particular, the proportion of targeted therapies has increased significantly in recent years. With the right, genetically adapted medication, over 50% of patients with specific cancer often get better success faster. This aspect is confirmed by Statista.com , where further details on the current medication approvals and the challenges in development are listed.

Following the lectures, snacks and personal conversations are scheduled - a great opportunity to address questions directly to the experts.
