As technology is changing the face of society in a large way, it has given the Medicine or the treatment part of it a huge boon, day by day medicine and technology both are incorporating well enough to bring out newer ways of treatment, where there are new concepts like translational medicine that is being seen these days in the treatment of cancer, so my question is What is Translational medicine?
Hi Mr.Naik,
Translational medicine is the continuum which is often known as "bench to bedside", by which the biomedical community takes a focused point of view to move research discoveries from the laboratory into clinical practice to diagnose and treat patients. Translational medicine is often used synonymously with "Molecular Medicine" and "Personalized Medicine", both of which are used to refer to the process of applying molecular insights from laboratory discovery to clinical care. Hope this helps !!
In general Translational Medicine is the emerging and new medical practice and interventional epidemiology, this is a progression of Evidence-Based Medicine. It integrates all the research inputs from the basic sciences, social sciences and political sciences to optimize both patient care and also preventive measures which may extend beyond the provision of healthcare services.
