This cover page represents the article titled "Clinical Case Reports as a Tool for Advancing Personalized Medicine: Is this Real?" which examines the essential role of detailed clinical documentation in shaping individualized healthcare. The article emphasizes how thorough descriptions of rare diseases, atypical presentations, and unique therapeutic responses can reveal critical insights into patient-specific prognoses and treatment strategies. It highlights the historical significance of case reports in driving medical discoveries and their continued relevance in the precision medicine era, where variability between patients is not a limitation but a source of innovation. The discussion addresses the value of integrating genetic, molecular, and lifestyle data into clinical narratives, the ethical considerations in publishing highly detailed patient information, and the importance of maintaining rigorous reporting standards such as the CARE guidelines. Additionally, the article explores future opportunities to link case reports with large-scale biomedical databases and artificial intelligence tools to accelerate the identification of personalized care strategies.
