When we think of precision medicine, we are usually considering individual treatments. Precision medicine is usually individualized medicine. For example, an evaluation of the genes in a cancer shows which ones are abnormally activated or mutated to guide specific treatment for an individual. If the gene for the epidermal growth factor is switched on in lung cancer, an antibody against that gene is precision treatment.
