With the advent of nanomedicine and techniques for the early diagnosis of diseases, prophylactic or preventive intervention could receive a big fillip. The medical implications of such prophylactic interventions are huge: treatment could be started even before initial symptoms manifest; diseases could be warded off or even completely avoided in some instances. With such immense possibilities, nanomedicine could well hold the key to a vastly improved quality of life and physical well-being for individuals.
