“…Readily available and cost‐effective gene sequencing will likely become a valuable tool in achieving precision medicine treatment options, especially for cancer patients, where genetic mutations play a critical role in the onset of the disease . However, there remains a number of issues needing attention with regard to the application of NGS technology for the treatment of cancer in current healthcare systems, such as the effectiveness of molecular targeted therapy based on patients’ genetic information, and the reimbursement of the costs . These concerns are beginning to be addressed, but there is a need for a more robust and comprehensive economic evaluations of NGS technology as a diagnostic option in cancer care.…”

“…Over time, new paradigms of medicine and healthcare have been defined and an approach that genuinely tends toward the single person is technically feasible, economically valuable [1,2] and culturally, ethically and socially accepted: with time, it will more and more unethical and uneconomic to deliver nonpersonalized services considering the inefficacy, side effects and high costs of some standard treatment [3,4].…”
