Caris Life Sciences®(Caris), the leading molecular science and technology company actively developing and delivering innovative solutions to revolutionize health care, announced today that St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN) has joined Caris' Precision Oncology Alliance™ (POA). The POA is a growing network of leading cancer centers across the globe that collaborate to advance precision oncology and biomarker-driven research. POA members work together to establish and optimize standards of care for molecular testing through innovative research focused on predictive and prognostic markers that improve the clinical outcomes for cancer patients.
Founded in 1872 as its area's first community hospital, St. Luke's University Health Network is today a regional, non-profit, fully integrated, nationally-recognized network of more than 17,000 employees providing services to over one million people at 14 campuses and 300+ outpatient sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. St. Luke's is the only Lehigh Valley-based healthcare system to earn Medicare's five-star ratings for quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction. SLUHN is both a Leapfrog Group and Healthgrades Top Hospital and a Newsweek World's Best Hospital. U.S. News & World Report ranked St. Luke's #1 in the Lehigh Valley and #6 in the state.
"St. Luke's University Health Network is excited to join Caris' Precision Oncology Alliance and partner with key academic and clinical institutions similarly dedicated to advancing precision medicine and biomarker research," said Israel Zighelboim, M.D., FACOG, FACS, Interim Chair, Department of Oncology – Cancer Center Director, St. Luke's University Health Network.
St. Luke's 1,900+ physicians and providers are some of the most experienced in the industry, earning awards for clinical excellence and striving daily for innovations to improve patient care. SLUHN continues the tradition of health care in the Lehigh Valley by providing primary and specialist care sites, various outpatient testing and service facilities, a regional medical school campus, the nation's oldest operating nursing school, home health, inpatient and outpatient hospice services, and the largest trauma network in Pennsylvania.

"This expanded collaborative effort of institutions from across the country continues to lead to innovative research to improve the outcomes of patients with cancer."
The Caris Precision Oncology Alliance includes 72 cancer centers and academic institutions. These institutions have early access to the extensive database and artificial intelligence platform within Caris to establish evidence-based standards for cancer profiling and molecular testing in oncology. By leveraging the comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiling available through Caris molecular profiling, Caris seeks to provide this network with the ability to prioritize therapeutic options and determine which clinical trial opportunities may benefit their patients. POA members are also able to integrate with a growing portfolio of biomarker directed trials sponsored by biopharma. Additionally, as a member of the POA, institutions have access to Caris CODEai™, the most comprehensive data solution in the industry with cancer treatment information and clinical outcomes data for over 275,000 patients covering over 1 million data points per patient.
