In Precision Medicine, the role of the doctor, in addition to the treatment of diseases, is to help prevent disease recurrence as well. For instance, many people may be unaware that some cancers can be genetically inherited, and we are now able to screen for cancer genes in Thailand. The Next Generation Sequencing Technology has the ability to sequence up to 95% of an entire human genome and conduct genetic mapping of families, whereby up to 50 of the most common cancer genes can be detected, including the 3 most common cancers in men and women.

The most common cancers in men are:

1. Prostate Cancer
2. Lung Cancer
3. Colon Cancer

The most common cancers in women are:

1. Breast Cancer
2. Lung Cancer
3. Colon Cancer
