Precision medicine refers to the tailoring of therapeutic strategies to the individual characteristics of each patient; thus, it could be a new approach for the management of severe asthma that considers individual variability in genes, environmental exposure, and lifestyle. Precision medicine would also assist physicians in choosing the right treatment, the best timing of administration, consequently trying to maximize drug efficacy, and, possibly, reducing adverse events. Metabolomics is the systematic study of low molecular weight (bio)chemicals in a given biological system and offers a powerful approach to biomarker discovery and elucidating disease mechanisms. In this point of view, metabolomics could play a key role in targeting precision medicine.
精准医学是指根据每位患者的个体特征量身定制治疗策略;因此,它可能是一种管理重度哮喘的新方法,该方法考虑了基因、环境暴露和生活方式方面的个体差异。精准医学还将帮助医生选择正确的治疗方法、最佳给药时间,从而尽量提高药物疗效,并有可能减少不良事件。代谢组学是对给定生物系统中低分子量(生物)化学物质的系统研究,为生物标志物发现和阐明疾病机制提供了一种强有力的方法。从这一角度来看,代谢组学在靶向精准医学中可能发挥关键作用。
