Abstract
Personalized medicine it is a model of health care based on a selection of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive means taking into account the genetic, physiological, biochemical and other features of the patient. Personalized medicine new branch of modern medicine, in which developed and applied treatments, “tailored” specifically for the individual patient. Areas of application of personalized medicine in modern terms: the transition from traditional to personalized clinical diagnosis of the disease based on individual patient parameters, including using different molecular biomarkers nature, and save biomaterial throughout his life; predictions based on genomic data likelihood of a disease with the development of individual preventive scheme; identification of potential pharmacotherapeutic targets for selective exposure at the initial stage of the pathological process; choice of treatment strategy tailored to the individual patient parameters; monitoring of treatment using biomarkers. Strengthening the role of clinical pharmacology and create genetically informed personalized medicine algorithms increase the efficiency and safety of pharmacotherapy. New technologies make it possible to clarify the causes adverse side effects at the genetic level, prevent, reduce treatment costs and significantly enhance its security and therefore implementation of these approaches in the long run will contribute to significant savings.
