Abstract
Contemporary medicine has been in the process of a paradigm shift. Instead of relatively broad pathological entities, populationbased
risk assesments, and non-specific „one-size-fits-all“ therapies, a new paradigm of predictive, individualized and personalized
care and targeted therapy is rolling on the horizon. Person-centered medicine is a term with different meanings which competes in
some way to other terms like medicine of the person, patient-centered medicine, personalized and individualzed medicine, integrative
and holistic medicine. Clear definition of theoretical framework and clinical practice of person-centered medicine is urgent to
prevent dangereous increasing confusion.
