Abstract

Starting with a precisely logical and conceptual analysis of relevant explications and definitions from English and German speaking areas, this article argues for the use of “Individualized Medicine” as a defined term. The definition utilizes the expression “Individualized Medicine” for describing research approaches and health care practices, if the biomarker-based prediction of a) diseases and/or b) the effectiveness of therapies by stratification is central. The relevant terms “research approach”, “health care practice”, “biomarker”, “prediction” and “stratification” will be discussed in detail. The term “Individualized Medicine” will be examined regarding its extension and will finally be compared to “Personalized Medicine”, which is also understood terminologically.
