Caris Life Sciences to Showcase Research Highlighting the Clinical Value of Comprehensive Molecular Profiling at ESMO 2024

In collaboration with leading cancer centers, research results to be presented from seven studies across a wide range of tumor types demonstrating Caris' impact on precision medicine

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caris Life Sciences^® (Caris), a leading next-generation AI TechBio company and precision medicine pioneer, today announced that the company and collaborators from the biopharma industry and leading cancer centers, including those within the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance™ (POA), will collectively present seven studies across a wide range of tumor types at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain from September 13-17, 2024 (Booth #608). The findings demonstrate the power of Caris' comprehensive multi-modal database to enable novel insights into cancer that could have profound effects on a patient's diagnosis, prognosis, care plan and response to treatment.

"The research being presented at this year's ESMO Congress is a testament to Caris' continued commitment to data-driven molecular innovation and the power of our ever-expanding network of collaborators to answer some of today's pressing questions in precision oncology," said Caris EVP and Chief Medical Officer George W. Sledge, Jr., MD. "The findings underscore the critical role of comprehensive profiling in cancer care and the power of large clinico-genomic datasets to enable the identification of new biomarkers with clinical implications across diverse tumor types. Through extensive sequencing and data analysis efforts, we are unlocking new avenues for tailored therapies to revolutionize cancer treatment."

"Our comprehensive molecular profiling coupled with rich clinical data is enabling Caris to help clinicians make the best treatment choices, researchers to discover novel cancer biology, and the biopharmaceutical industry to develop the next breakthrough medicines," said Caris President David Spetzler, MS, PhD, MBA. "Our vast real-world evidence from over 689,000 cases, including over 550,000 with matched molecular data and outcomes, enables our team and research collaborators to better understand the biological hallmarks of cancers and how they impact clinical outcomes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved patient outcomes."
