The Caris Precision Oncology Alliance leverages the opportunities of big data, artificial intelligence and the collaborative research initiatives of our members to identify predictive and prognostic markers to further advance the integration of molecular profiling into all aspects of cancer care.”

Chairman
Precision Oncology Alliance
The alliance is comprised of a growing network of leading cancer centers from across the country that demonstrate a commitment to precision medicine and work collaboratively to:
It’s important for oncologists and patients to know that their data is available to them for analysis. Our database of clinical outcomes is populated with anonymized data from POA member institutions and from commercially available data. This continuous feedback loop between finding new biomarkers and interpreting their significance, provides insights for drug developers and aids in the promotion of clinical trials, which ultimately feeds back into our system and directly helps patients. This cultivation of combined clinical-genomic data and collaborative research helps the POA and all of its members advance the science of cancer care.
As a leading innovator in molecular science and artificial intelligence focused on fulfilling the promise of precision medicine through quality and innovation, Caris Life Sciences (Caris) is helping our POA partners improve cancer care and maximize patient outcomes through advanced diagnostic testing and molecular insights. Caris has a unique combination of expertise, proprietary technologies, clinical testing abilities and a vast library of data that allows Caris and the POA to collaboratively advance precision medicine in ways never before possible.

In addition to creating a thought leadership network to develop best practices and guidelines for integrating molecular profiling into patient treatment management, POA members:
The Caris Connection e-newsletter is a quarterly publication for all POA members. Each issue highlights a POA member institution, an interview with a key investigator, and the latest news and events happening throughout our alliance. Members can also find updates on the Caris pipeline, the latest POA publications and abstracts, and register for any one of the many Working Group Meetings that take place throughout the year.
Every day, new discoveries confirm the increasing and important role biomarker analysis and tumor profiling have in personalized cancer care. We contribute to the body of research in oncology to advance the understanding of molecular science and further enable the delivery of precision medicine.
The POA Executive Committee establishes appropriate molecular testing principles.
