• Personalized medicine is a fast and broad growing
  medical concept that proposes the customization
  of healthcare - with medical decisions,
  practices, and/or products being tailored to the
  individual patient. In this concept, laboratory
  medicine is often employed for selecting
  appropriate and optimal therapies based on the
  context of a patients genetic content or other
  biomedical properties (age, body weight,
  pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, environmental
  factors). Pharmacogenomics plays a major role in
  certain aspects of personalized medicine. In
  addition to technologies progress, personalized
  medicine also may raise ethical considerations
  which should be addressed. The Royal Belgian
  Society of Laboratory Medicine decided to
  dedicate one scientific day to this fascinating
  field, reviewing some aspects by international
  opinion leaders.
