Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death and disease burden globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the major part of death related to NCDs followed by different types of cancer,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and diabetes. As the World Health Organization (WHO) andthe United Nations have announced a 25% reduction in mortality of NCDs by 2025, different communities needto adopt preventive strategies for achieving this goal. Personalized medicine approach as a predictive andpreventive strategy aims for a better therapeutic goal to the patients to maximize benefits and reduce harms. Theclinical benefits of this approach are already realized in cancer targeted therapy, and its impact on otherconditions needs more studies in different societies. In this review, we essentially describe the concept ofpersonalized (or precision) medicine in association with NCDs and the future of precision medicine inprediction, prevention, and personalized treatment © 2019, International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine.
