- Title
Personalized medicine: a windfall for science, but what about patients?
- Authors
Browman, George; Hébert, Paul C.; Coutts, Jane; Stanbrook, Matthew B.; Flegel, Ken; MacDonald, Noni E.
- Abstract
The authors reflect on the potential of personalized medicine to raise false hope to the public. They mention that most people would view personalized medicine to be what is usually called person-centred or patient-centred care. They state that scientists need to work to increase financing for cutting-edge biological and organizational scientific inquiry aimed to better understand each human life rather than wasting time to re-engineer personalized medicine as a scientific label.
