Abstract
There have been major recent advances in multiple disciplines that have
culminated into the underpinnings of precision health and precision medicine. The
advances include but are not limited to new insights into human biology in health and
disease, innovations in computation technology capable of storing and processing
massive amounts of multidimensional data (big data), improvements in imaging
technology, and developments such as sophisticated radiomics, and incorporation of
artificial intelligence and deep learning. Theranostics, which is an integration of
targeted diagnostics and therapeutics, is emerging rapidly and is positioned
strategically to link precision health and precision medicine.
Keywords: Cancer, Health, Medicine, Precision, Theranostics.
