Advancing Healthcare Through Personalized Medicine 1st edition (first edition)

About this book

Advancing Healthcare Through Personalized Medicine 1st edition by Priya Hays examines how genomics and molecular medicine are changing disease prediction, diagnosis, treatment selection, and healthcare delivery. The book connects the scientific foundations of personalized medicine with clinical implementation, healthcare policy, economics, and the experiences of patients receiving more individualized approaches to care.

The 1st edition covers the rise of genomics and personalized medicine, patient experiences, knowledge infrastructures, precision oncology, molecular diagnostics, genomic medicine, clinical tools for physicians, molecular profiling, druggable targets, and targeted therapies. It also examines regulation, reimbursement, healthcare economics, biomedical innovation, and the moral and ethical questions created by greater use of genetic and molecular information.

The book is particularly relevant to clinicians, healthcare providers, biomedical scientists, healthcare industry professionals, policy professionals, and others working with or studying personalized and precision medicine. Its combination of clinical science and broader healthcare analysis makes it useful for understanding not only how genomic technologies can influence treatment decisions but also the regulatory, economic, ethical, and organizational issues involved in implementing them.

Clinicians, scientists, healthcare professionals, industry specialists, policy professionals, and patients interested in personalized medicine can use this edition to understand pharmacogenomics, targeted treatment, molecular diagnostics, precision oncology, and the wider consequences of genomic medicine. The verified 1st edition was published by CRC Press in 2017 and is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access.
