Stanford Cancer Institute, Intermountain
Healthcare, Providence Health & Services and Syapse have joined
forces to create a consortium to advance cancer care via data sharing
and increase access to clinical trials.
Dubbed the Oncology Precision Network (OPN), the
consortium will share aggregated cancer genomic data through an advanced
software platform in order to bring promising treatment insights to
patients and physicians.
"The highest quality cancer care is predicated on
clinical trial participation and currently very few cancer patients can
access trials that are matched based on the genetic make-up of their
cancer," said Dr. Thomas Brown, executive director
of the Swedish Cancer Institute and co-chair Providence Health &
Services Personalized Medicine Program. "This partnership will further
our efforts to provide customized therapies that are based on the
biological features of both the patient and their unique
cancer."
