纵观历史，医学进步首先被受过良好教育和经济上富裕的群体所接受。个性化治疗的发展有望从根本上改变临床医学的实践，但如果它也被经济困难的群体优先使用，这一进步可能会加剧健康方面的社会经济差距。前瞻性地制定战略，确保无差别地获得这些治疗，可能有助于限制医疗进步对经济弱势群体的这种意外后果。
Throughout history, medical advances have been adopted first and preferentially by the well educated and economically advantaged groups. The development of personalized therapeutics holds promise to fundamentally alter the practice of clinical medicine, but if it also is used preferentially by economically advantaged groups, this advance will likely worsen socioeconomic disparities in health. Prospective development of strategies to ensure non- differential access to these therapies may help limit this unintended consequence of medical progress for economically disadvantaged groups.
