Abstract

Abstract: In contrast to the "one‐size‐fits‐all" approach, precision medicine focuses on providing health care tailored to individual variabilities. Implementing precision medicine in endoscopy practice involves selecting the appropriate procedures among the endoscopic armamentarium in the diagnosis and management of patients in a logical sequence, jointly considering the pretest probabilities of possible diagnoses, patients' comorbidities and preference, and risk–benefit ratio of the individual procedures given the clinical scenario. The aim of this review is to summarize evidence‐supported strategies and measures that may enhance precision medicine in general endoscopy practice.
