Analyzing a patient's cancer for genetic mutations is the basis for predicting treatment outcomes using various cancer drugs and protocols.

Using a rapid learning approach, the goal of M2Gen is to accelerate the science of precision medicine by creating evidence and knowledge - based solutions that identify a patient's susceptibility to disease, predict how the patient will respond to a particular drug, and match patients to the best therapies for an optimal treatment outcome.

I think we all agree that we over treat prostate cancer in this country compared to what you see in Europe with similar outcomes and so but I think this is where the human or the Cancer Genome Project or at least better biomarkers for looking at mutations that we already know occur in these diseases I think hopefully within the next few years every single patient who is diagnosed with prostate cancer those biopsies will be characterized and then the patients followed, hopefully watchful waiting and we'll ultimately get a correlation between what mutational events predict a rather dormant disease as opposed to a very aggressive disease.

Genetic testing could be used to predict clopidogrel efficacy in individual cats with heart disease and facilitate personalized medicine decisions to help improve outcomes for these patients.

An important validation criterion for a diagnosis is its ability to predict outcome and to identify patients in need of treatment [40].

There are well - documented associations between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and intimate relationship problems, including relationship distress and aggression, 1 and studies demonstrate that the presence of PTSD symptoms in one partner is associated with caregiver burden and psychological distress in the other partner.2 Although currently available individual psychotherapies for PTSD produce overall improvements in psychosocial functioning, these improvements are not specifically found in intimate relationship functioning.3 Moreover, it has been shown that even when patients receive state - of - the - art individual psychotherapy for the disorder, negative interpersonal relations predict worse treatment outcomes.4, 5

In support of these results, multilevel modeling of the outcomes revealed the predicted time × condition interaction for the primary outcome of clinician - rated PTSD symptom severity (t37.5 = − 3.09; P =.004) and for patient - reported relationship satisfaction (t68.5 = 2.00; P =.049).

A study of individual cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder showed positive outcomes at 1 - year follow - up, but the benefits were reduced over time, suggesting the need for booster sessions to sustain the gains.19 As with many forms of therapy, CBT has been found to be more successful in reducing relapse in the depressive pole compared with the manic pole.30 A large randomised trial of CBT showed no difference between CBT and treatment as usual, when all participants were included in the analyses.31 However, results of a post-hoc analysis suggested that CBT was effective for participants who reported fewer than 12 prior episodes of illness and were not acutely unwell when therapy began; numbers of episodes of mania rather than depression seemed to predict treatment response.32 Such data can help guide the clinical application of CBT for bipolar patients.

For example, higher levels of depression have been shown to be predictive of poorer treatment outcomes for patients with chronic pain, 11 as well as higher health care costs over time.12 Equally, the presence of pain in people being treated for mood disturbance has predicted delayed responses to mood interventions.13 Therefore, improving our understanding of how chronic pain and depression are linked, and treating both components offers the prospect of enhancing treatment effects beyond the benefits of treating either condition aloneFor example, higher levels of depression have been shown to be predictive of poorer treatment outcomes for patients with chronic pain, 11 as well as higher health care costs over time.12 Equally, the presence of pain in people being treated for mood disturbance has predicted delayed responses to mood interventions.13 Therefore, improving our understanding of how chronic pain and depression are linked, and treating both components offers the prospect of enhancing treatment effects beyond the benefits of treating either condition alonefor patients with chronic pain, 11 as well as higher health care costs over time.12 Equally, the presence of pain in people being treated for mood disturbance has predicted delayed responses to mood interventions.13 Therefore, improving our understanding of how chronic pain and depression are linked, and treating both components offers the prospect of enhancing treatment effects beyond the benefits of treating either condition alonefor mood disturbance has predicted delayed responses to mood interventions.13 Therefore, improving our understanding of how chronic pain and depression are linked, and treating both components offers the prospect of enhancing treatment effects beyond the benefits of treating either condition alone.14
