Personalized Medicine for the Management of Non-Communicable Disease (NCDs)

Dear Colleagues,

The average age of the global population is progressively increasing, along with a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, diabetes (DM), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cognitive impairment, result from a complex interplay of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. They are the leading cause of death globally, imposing significant economic burdens on healthcare systems.

This issue aims to highlight the transformative potential of personalized medicine in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of NCDs. The cornerstone of personalized and precision medicine lies in the search for innovative biomarkers and therapeutic targets, maintaining a central focus on individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. The ultimate goal is to formulate new strategies for the rapid integration of omics sciences into daily clinical practice.
