Middle East & Africa Anatomic Pathology Market Outlook
Personalized medicines are mainly designed by considering individuals' genetic profiles to guide the decisions made with respect to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a disease. They provide an opportunity for drug manufacturers to develop agents that target patient groups that do not respond to medications as intended or for them who do not respond as expected to traditional healthcare practices. There is much evidence indicating that a substantial portion of the variability in drug response depends on factors that are genetically controlled, including age, nutrition, environmental exposure, and health status. Genomics plays an important role in the emergence of personalized medicines, as having the knowledge of a patient's genetic profile would help doctors in selecting an apt medication. Personalized medicines are helpful in improving healthcare by enabling each patient to receive earlier diagnoses, risk assessments, and optimal treatments.
Pathologists play an important role in developing and implementing molecular and genomic tests in practice. Personalized medicines are used in the treatment of diseases such as breast cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Personalized anticancer medicines exhibit fewer and less severe side effects than other types of treatment as they are designed for more specific action. Further, with the ongoing progress in research and clinical studies, personalized medicines are likely to reach even greater potential to improve the quality of patient care. Thus, the growing focus on personalized medicines is expected to boost the anatomic pathology market growth.
