Abstract: 【Abstract】 To discover the cause of diseases and improve prevention and treatment, a program initiating by the study of genetic sequence alteration was launched in January last year in US. It is named as precision medicine. This definition of precision medicine resulted in certain confusion and frustration among clinicians, which would fundamentally influent the trends and future directions of medicine re-search and practice. In fact, clinicians have already borne their own concept of precision medicine based on the definition of evidence based medicine. These two definitions are relative, but not complete the same. Understanding the meaning of precision medicine is a must or essential for clinical practice. Clini-cians must use all modern methods of treatment precisely for their patients regardless of whether they meet the standards of molecular genetic study or not. The criteria of precision medicine have a much more generalized meaning for clinicians.
