Abstract
Precision medicine is beginning to make an impact on the treatment of different diseases, but there are still challenges that must be overcome, such as the complexity of interventions, the need for marker validation, and the level of evidence necessary to demonstrate effectiveness. In this Perspective, we describe how evidence landscapes can help to address these challenges.
