Caris Life Sciences to Showcase Research with Leading Cancer Centers at ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium 2023 Reflecting Its Commitment to Improving Outcomes for Patients

Research results from five studies across three solid tumor types demonstrate the impact of Caris' approach to molecular profiling across the continuum of cancer care

IRVING, Texas, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Caris Life Sciences^®(Caris), the leading molecular science and technology company actively developing and delivering innovative solutions to revolutionize healthcare, today announced that the company and partners within the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance™ (POA) will collectively present five studies across three tumor types at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, February 16-18, 2023 in San Francisco (Tabletop #50).

"We are proud of the growing number of collaborative abstracts accepted for presentation at ASCO GU, demonstrating the power of Caris' comprehensive molecular profiling and the large-scale collaboration between POA sites," said Chadi Nabhan, M.D., MBA, FACP, Chairman of the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance. "The findings represent important observations in prostate, urothelial, and renal cancers, which could lead to novel treatment strategies and knowledge that improve patient outcomes."

"At Caris, our goal is to enable clinicians to make the best treatment choices for their patients, researchers to discover new targets, and the biopharmaceutical industry to develop the next breakthrough medicines," said David Spetzler, M.S., Ph.D., MBA, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Caris. "These presentations show how our physicians, scientists and partners in the POA are leveraging real-world clinical evidence from over 455,000 lifetime cases in Caris' unique AI-driven platform to deepen our understanding of cancer. These foundational discoveries provide key insights into advanced cancer and support the development of precision oncology approaches in advanced genitourinary tumors to better serve cancer patients."
