"Advances in human genetics have begun to yield clinical benefits through the development of Precision Medicine (PM). The benefits of this innovation are promising, both through application of constitutional genetics detecting mutations that affect the risk of disease and tumor genetics, and malignancy-causing mutations susceptible to targeted therapies. While PM may ultimately be used in all aspects of medicine, to date, the most fruitful applications have been in maternal-fetal medicine and cancer. However, due to the complexity and cost of developing these innovations, and to privacy issues, advancing PM is a challenge in traditional clinical, reimbursement, and regulatory landscapes. Although much of the literature focuses on challenges in relating constellations of mutations to the identification of actual current or potential disease states, and to the efficacy of treatments, diffusion of PM also depends on many non-clinical factors. For example, how will information on accurate diagnosis and treatment success be disseminated, and who will bear the cost? How might physician training change to incorporate genetic, probability, statistics, and economic considerations? How can patients reconcile with the ethical and privacy concerns related to the availability of genetic information? Will the era of PM yield still more disparities in access to care? Will cost-effectiveness analysis need to change to better take into account patient heterogeneity? This volume explores the intersection of the scientific, clinical, and economic factors to consider in developing PM. We explore the theoretical and historical underpinnings of PM, discuss implementation issues, and present examples of real-world applications."--

Personalized and precision medicine (PPM)-the targeting of therapies according to an individual's genetic, environmental, or lifestyle characteristics-is becoming an increasingly important approach in health care treatment and prevention. The advancement of PPM is a challenge in traditional clinical, reimbursement, and regulatory landscapes because it is costly to develop and introduces a wide range of scientific, clinical, ethical, and socioeconomic issues. PPM raises a multitude of economic issues, including how information on accurate diagnosis and treatment success will be disseminated and who will bear the cost; changes to physician training to incorporate genetics, probability and statistics, and economic considerations; questions about whether the benefits of PPM will be confined to developed countries or will diffuse to emerging economies with less developed health care systems; the effects of patient heterogeneity on cost-effectiveness analysis; and opportunities for PPM's growth beyond treatment of acute illness, such as prevention and reversal of chronic conditions. This volume explores the intersection of the scientific, clinical, and economic factors affecting the development of PPM, including its effects on the drug pipeline, on reimbursement of PPM diagnostics and treatments, and on funding of the requisite underlying research; and it examines recent empirical applications of PPM.

Trends in Personalized Nutrition explores the topic of personalized nutrition from multiple angles, addressing everything from consumer acceptance, to policies and cognitive dissonance. Sections in the book cover epigenetics, nutrigenomics, predicting glycemic response, and metabolomics and the role of bacteria. In addition, the book explores diet, obesity and personalized nutrition for athletes, women, and infants and children, along with a section on the role of modern technology in the promotion of personalized nutrition. Nutritionists, food technologists, food chemists, new product developers, academics, and researchers and physicians working in the field of nutrition will find this to be a great reference.

Clinical Precision Medicine: A Primer offers clinicians, researchers and students a practical, up-to-date resource on precision medicine, its evolving technologies, and pathways towards clinical implementation. Early chapters address the fundamentals of molecular biology and gene regulation as they relate to precision medicine, as well as the foundations of heredity and epigenetics. Oncology, an early adopter of precision approaches, is considered with its relationship to genetic variation in drug metabolism, along with tumor immunology and the impact of DNA variation in clinical care. -- Publisher

Precision medicine is rapidly becoming the standard-of-care for the treatment of cancer patients. This is made possible, in part, by the ready availability and reasonable costs of comprehensive DNA and RNA sequencing assays. However, precision medicine is complex and incorporates entirely new types of data and treatment paradigms that are outside of the training of most oncologists in practice today. Precision Medicine Oncology: A Primer is a concise review of the fundamental principles and applications of precision medicine, intended for clinicians, particularly those working in oncology. It provides an accessible introduction to the technological advances in DNA and RNA sequencing, gives a detailed overview of approaches to the interpretation of molecular test results and their point-of-care implementation for individual patients, and describes innovative clinical trial designs in oncology as well as characteristics of the computational infrastructures through which massive quantities of data are collected, stored, and used in precision medicine oncology.
