Theranostics

Theranostics is the term used to describe the proposed process of diagnostic therapy for individual patients - to test them for possible reaction to taking a new medication and to tailor a treatment for them based on the test results.

It encompasses the possible utilisation of a wide range of subjects that includes: predictive medicine, personalized medicine, integrated medicine, pharmacodiagnostics and Dx/Rx partnering

This method is looked upon as the possible end result of new advances made in Pharmacogenomics, Drug Discovery using Genetics, Molecular Biology and Microarray chips technology.
