Abstract Precision medicine is an ideal medical paradigm which combines modern scientific methods with traditional medical methods to diagnose, treat and evaluate the physical function and nature of diseases more precisely, and to maximize health benefits and minimize the risk of individuals and society with the most effective, safest, and the most economical medical service. Evidence-based medicine is necessary to verify the precision of diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we clarified the conception of precision medicine and the relation between precision medicine and evidence-based medicine. Moreover, we reviewed the application of precision medicine in the field of cerebrovascular disease. We pointed out that such new technologies as genetics, bioinformatics, molecular imaging and management provided tools to realize the idea of precision medicine, and high-quality evidence-based studies provided a guarantee for the clinical practice of precision medicine. In summary, precision medicine is an individualized medical mode that based on the context of a patient's genetic information, living environment and clinical data, etc. to provide precise treatment strategies for the prevention and treatment of disease, but still the promotion of precision medicine should be based on clinical validation under the guidance of evidence-based medicine. Thus, long-term exploration and unremitting efforts are required to achieve the idea of precision medicine.
