B)used to design treatments for multiple patients
C)a subset of precision medicine
D)involves screening drugs on individual patients

Accepted Answer

Personalized medicine refers to using genetics, molecular profiling, and other individual factors to design treatments and therapies for individual patients. It is a subset of precision medicine, which seeks to customize medical treatment to an individual's specific needs. Personalized medicine is not based on an average of molecular profiles, nor is it used to design treatments for multiple patients. While screening drugs on individual patients may be a component of personalized medicine, it is not the defining characteristic of the approach.
