On Nov 13, 2017, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) published the first edition of its precision medicine glossary. “Precision medicine is a new field, and terms have been developing without set definitions”, explained co-author Fabrice André (Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France). “That [ambiguity] was starting to create some confusion, especially in the reporting of scientific papers, because the same word has different meanings depending on who is using it.”
