Precision medicine tailors treatments to individual genes, environment, and lifestyle, promising better outcomes for cancer, rare diseases, and more. However, widespread adoption faces major hurdles: high costs of genomic testing, limited infrastructure in rural and low-income areas, data biases favoring certain populations, and equity gaps that could widen health disparities.

Progress is underway with falling sequencing costs and initiatives like the All of Us Research Program, but full普及 remains challenging without broader access, diverse data, and policy support. It is advancing selectively but not yet universally accessible.
