Precision Gastroenterology
Precision medicine utilizes a patient’s biological profile to stratify complex and heterogeneous diseases in order to facilitate evidence-based medicine and improve decision making that improves outcomes. The goal of this symposium is to use clinical scenarios from luminal disease in gastroenterology to illustrate the complexity of disease conditions and how approaches in precision medicine can be applied to improve the stratification of patient phenotype.
