About this ebook
What Is Personalized Medicine
A medical model known as personalized medicine, which is also known as precision medicine, categorizes patients into distinct groups, and then tailors medical decisions, practices, interventions, and/or products to each individual patient based on how they are expected to react to treatment or their likelihood of developing a disease. Personalized medicine is also known as precision medicine. Although the terms personalized medicine, precision medicine, stratified medicine, and P4 medicine are often used interchangeably to describe this concept, some authors and organizations use these expressions separately to indicate particular nuances. Personalized medicine refers to the practice of tailoring medical treatment to each individual patient. Precision medicine refers to the practice of treating patients based

Preface
Why did I write this book?
The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.
It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.
There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.
In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology
, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly
