- Abstract
Achieving the highest possible health standard is one of the fundamental rights of every individual. Personalised medicine is part of contemporary medicine, whose specificity is the informed choice of a particular therapeutic path according to the individual characteristics (mainly genetic) and his/her disease. Impact on effectiveness and safety of treatment, undesired effects, increased quality of life as well as the opportunities to focus on disease prevention are analysed. Detailed attention is paid to fundamental rights and health services, approaches in European legislation and codified rights in Bulgarian regulations. The paper focuses particularly on the social and health rights of onco-patients. The significance of understanding the factors which determine patient’s preferences or choices is underlined as this knowledge is crucial when facilitating the patients in their decisionmaking process on therapeutic choices.
