Nine Studies Presented by Caris POA at ESMO 2022
At this year’s ESMO Congress, Caris Life Sciences® (Caris), and its partners within the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance (POA) presented nine studies covering a diversity of tumor types and genomic alterations. The findings demonstrate clinical benefits of Caris’ whole exome and whole transcriptome approach to molecular profiling. “The depth and range of research being presented by Caris and the POA demonstrates the value this collaboration brings to the broader oncology community,” said Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA,FACP, Chairman of the POA. “The study findings provide critical insights into cancer biology and treatment outcomes that will help drive further clinical research and better inform diagnoses, clinical and therapeutic decision-making for oncology practices.” If you would like to view or download a copy of this year’s Caris Abstracts and Presentation Schedule at ESMO, please click here.
Redesigned Caris POA Publication Repository
One of the main pillars of the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance (POA) has always been collaboration. With over 500 investigator-initiated publications produced to date, we continue to optimize big data, AI, and machine learning through our research to improve the outcomes for our patients. This summer the POA publication repository was enhanced to make searching more efficient and user-friendly for our members. With a new menu and updated content, publications can be narrowed down by publication type, tumor type, biomarker (150+), and POA institution. The complete list of POA publications can be found here and we encourage all of our members to use it.
