Precision Medicine Capabilities

Precision Medicine is Transforming Cancer Care

“Precision medicine is elevating the standard of cancer care by using data to connect patients with targeted therapies at the bedside in real time. We are looking for the best outcomes, and we want physicians to have the best tools to make treatment decisions. It’s just good medicine.”

R. Steven Paulson, M. D.
Founder & CEO, Precision Health Informatics

 

Data is key to developing new indications, therapies and clinical trials for cancer patients. Precision Health Informatics is unlocking the power of precision medicine in oncology by connecting and curating data from multiple sources, including critical insights gathered from real-world experience.

This data deepens understanding of genetic mutations so providers can take a ‘lock and key’ approach to diagnoses – to treat what causes cancer at a molecular level, rather than just the symptoms of the disease.

Precision Health Informatics is a subsidiary of Texas Oncology, one of the largest physician-owned oncology practices in the United States treating more than 75,000 new patients annually. With access to more than 1.6 million patient records and 400,000+ diverse genomic profiles, Texas Oncology provides a wealth of data and insights for patients treated in a community setting.

The depth of insights – and potential scientific discovery – grows daily.
