As a member, Stephenson will have early access to Caris' molecular profiling database and artificial intelligence platform.
"We are excited to welcome OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center to the growing Precision Oncology Alliance network," said Chadi Nabhan, MD, chair of the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance in an Aug. 10 Caris news release. "The ability to collaborate with Stephenson Cancer Center clinicians and researchers in cutting edge precision oncology research is destined to help improve the outcomes of patients with cancer and is aligned with both organizations' vision."
