[Proposal of the SEOM, SEAP and SEFH for the creation of a National Strategy for Precision Medicine in Cancer].

Precision medicine is an emerging approach to the prevention and treatment of disease that takes into account variability in genes, environment and lifestyle for each individual. Precision medicine is transforming clinical and biomedical research, as well as health care itself, from a conceptual, as well as a methodological viewpoint, providing extraordinary opportunities to improve public health and lower the costs of the healthcare system. However, the implementation of precision medicine poses ethical-legal, regulatory, organizational and knowledge-related challenges. Without a national strategy, precision medicine -which eventually will be implemented one way or another- could take place without the appropriate planning to guarantee technical quality and equal access to the best practices for all citizens, thus violating the rights of patients and professionals as well as jeopardizing the solvency of the healthcare system. This paper from the Spanish Societies of Medical Oncology (SEOM), Pathology (SEAP) and Hospital Pharmacy (SEFH), highlights the need to institute a consensual national strategy for the development of precision medicine in our country, reviews the national and international context, comments on the opportunities and challenges for implementing precision medicine and outlines the objectives of a national strategy on precision medicine in cancer.
